MINDFULNESS PRACTICES FOR
STRESS, ANXIETY, DEPRESSION,
AND PTSD
Worries and negative thoughts can keep us away from living the life we want, doing the things we enjoy, and experiencing the relationships we desire.
If you’re tired of your thoughts and emotions having the control and power over your life, learn how to shift your mind to where YOU want it to focus. Being mindful is all about where you’re focusing your attention.
HERE ARE TWO DIFFERENT APPROACHES TO BE MINDFUL:
1. Focus on the present by paying attention to all of your senses (what you see, hear, smell, feel, or taste) in one or more of these ways:
- In the space around you wherever you’re or standing sitting.
- When you go for walks.
- When you’re having a conversation and focusing on the topic or the other person.
- By paying attention to your body through body scans or noticing your breathing.
2. Focus on a place in your imagination:
- Take yourself to a calm, relaxing, or pleasant place in your imagination. Many people choose a place in nature, like the beach, a lounging chair in the backyard, or a green space. You can choose whatever is most inviting for you
- Pay attention to all of your senses: what you see, hear, smell, feel, or taste
- Explore your space to discover new things about it
SUGGESTIONS:
Feel free to use an App or YouTube video that supports you to focus on the present or to guide you in an imagery process.
Also, countdown through your senses to help you focus:
- 5 things you can see
- 4 things you can hear
- 3 things you can smell
- 2 things you can touch
- 1 thing you can taste
