Mindfulness is technically just awareness. Awareness of your emotions, surroundings, and physical sensations.
This can be achieved through many activities other than meditation. (Because meditation is not for everyone.)
- Aromatherapy
- Put your hand on your heart and feel it’s beat
- Go for a walk, be aware of your body
- Eat something, pay attention to the way it tastes
- Play your favorite song, pay attention to all the sounds in the background + components of the song
- Observe the colors of the walls around you, pay attention to how they make the space feel
*Pause, think about what emotions you are feeling. Observe the feeling, where do you feel it in your body?*
