How to Practice Mindfulness

It may be tough at first, but being open to your thoughts and feelings is important.

• Take in your environment with all your senses.

• Slow down and breathe. Close your eyes and focus on your breath.

• Scan your body. Take a moment to focus on each part of your body.

• Take a walk. Feel the support of the ground beneath you.
