HEART AND SOUL ANNUAL HEALTH CHALLENGE
Fall * Focus on Yourself, If Only For a Moment
The following exercise is based on the work of Jon Kabat- Zinn, PhD., founder of Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.
Under 5 Minute Mindful Breathing Exercise • Get into a comfortable position (sitting or lying on your back). • Bring yourself to the present by focusing on your cur- rent mood and feelings. Scan your body from head to toe and consciously let all tension go. Notice your environment (background sounds, temperature, etc). • Bring your attention to your breathing. Notice your breath going in and out of your nostrils or mouth, and the rise and fall of your chest and belly. • Focus on any one of these areas, and pause here. No- tice your breath, don’t try to control it. • Continue to breathe effortlessly, and each time your mind wanders away from the breath, be mindful of where it goes and gently re-focus back on your breath.
