This week, to attain, maintain or regain my sense of wellbeing...
I will practice mindfulness of my five senses. I will take moments throughout the day to pause and notice what I can see, hear, smell, taste, and touch.
I will practice being fully present with each sense, one at a time. For example, I might spend a few minutes just listening to the sounds around me, or really looking at the colors and shapes in my environment.
Whenever my thoughts intrude, I will just notice and describe them to myself without judgement and return my attention to my senses.
By practicing mindfulness of my senses, I will be able to ground myself in the present moment and take a break from distressing thoughts and feelings.
Once I am comfortable with this practice, I will add Mindfulness of My Senses to my Personal Coping Kete for times of stress and distress.
