Practicing Mindful Moments

Remembering to bring attention to the present moment anywhere, anytime.

Mindful Moment #1

Bring your attention to your body when at work. Notice your breath, body sensations, movements or positions when sitting at the desk, driving, holding the phone, sitting in the meeting, working outside, etc. Notice how it feels to have your weight supported when sitting or standing. Be curious and check in with your body throughout the day whenever you remember. A post-it note can help you remember to be mindful too!
