    A MINDFUL DAY

    Mindfulness is as much an attitude as it is a skill. We can use it to step out of our auto pilot way of thinking and being.

    Some thoughts on how to have a mindful day

     On waking focus on your breathing for a few moments before you rise

     Continue having a shower, cleaning your teeth mindfully getting ready for the day

     Pencil in your diary a meeting with yourself at a particular time each day so that you can sit quietly and breath mindfully for a few minutes

     Decide to do the breathing practice a few times a day, perhaps every time you wash your hands, when you have a drink of tea or coffee

     Those moments that in the past that would have led to frustration or annoyance like being stuck in traffic of waiting for someone can now be used to simply take in your surroundings, really seeing life as it presents itself in that moment


    And when the day is coming to an end you may want to note down in your diary or your journal your EGS of the day


    E what did you Enjoy today

    G What are you grateful for today

    S What are you satisfied with today

    Before you switch off the light connect with your body, notice your breathing and smile to yourself.


    5-4-3-2-1 technique

    It involves identifying 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. By doing so, it helps shift your focus from anxiety-provoking thoughts to the present moment.

    Why does the 5-4-3-2-1 coping technique work?

    The 5-4-3-2-1 method works because it engages multiple senses, requiring you to concentrate on the present environment rather than dwell on anxiety-inducing thoughts. This interrupts the fight or flight response, calming the nervous system and reducing symptoms of anxiety or stress almost immediately. Moreover, it can serve as the first step toward long-term coping strategies for mental wellness.
