paying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.
Some of my favorite mindfulness exercises and guided meditations:
Quick 5-minute meditation that you can do anywhere (with music).
Body Scan Meditation. This meditation is also easy to do without the video once you know how to do it!
Dot-Reminder Method: If you are struggling to remember to practice mindfulness, use colorful dot stickers or any stickers/post-its you have and place 5-6 in spots you will see throughout the day. For example, place one on the back of your phone, one by the light switch in your bedroom, one on your binder, etc... Every time you see a dot, take a moment to stop, take a breathe, acknowledge your current feelings/sensations/surroundings, and carry on with the day.
