In my mindful workshops and camps, we do a bunch of coping strategies, activities, and projects to incorporate mindfulness into daily life. Here are a few things to try at home:

1. Paint mindful rocks and leave them in the community for others to find

2. Make a vision board with pictures, quotes, and magazines

3. Make your own stress relieving tool (ex. Glitter jar, pipe cleaner fidget, or balloon stress ball)

4. Take a nature walk and comment on 5 things you can see, 4 things you can hear, 3 things you can touch, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste

5. Start a daily gratitude journal

6. Encourage something new (A new order at your favorite restaurant, a new recipe, a new exercise)

7. Try out some stretching techniques

8. Set a timer on your phone to remind you to take 3 deep breaths everyday

9. Write a "just because" card to someone and leave it for them to find (ex. gratitude, thank you, apology, I love you)
