Lay on your back and look up at the sky. Take deep breaths in and out. Imagine your thoughts are clouds or birds in the sky, floating past your head. Remember, no thought lasts forever.
Go for a walk. Notice the colors that you see. Notice the sounds that you hear. How does the movement feel in your body? What is temperature outside? How does it feel against your face? If your mind wanders, politely ask it to focus on what you can see, hear, and feel around you.
If it is rainy - Listen to the rain. Try to take slow deep breaths in and out. Can you notice the sound of each raindrop as it lands on the ground, roof, or window?
Take your shoes off! Notice how different surfaces feel on your skin. Notice how your feet feel from the heel to toe as you step.
Think of one thought you frequently have. Write it down, backwards. Try to read it out loud. Does your thought have the same effect on you emotionally when it is backwards?
Take five, slow, deep breaths. As you breathe in, think “I breathe in, I calm my body”. As you breathe out think. “I breathe out, I smile”.
Think of a problem or worry you are trying to solve. Look at it like it is on a sign. Try to pretend the sign is on someone’s lawn, separate from you. Now thing, do you have enough information to solve this problem or worry? If you do, great. What action do you need to take next? If you don’t, take a deep breath and say “I can not solve this problem right now, and that is ok”. What does letting go make space for?
