Practice Noting ~ Become The Observer

Noting is a practice that can relieve stress and help us create space between ourselves and our thoughts. Rather than being lost in thought, we can simply learn to notice them. This eventually leads to more clarity, less worry, better decisions, and more.

Get comfortable, drop the judgment, and practice observing. Some examples of what you may note are "hearing, sensation, emotion, thinking." After an introduction, you will spend five minutes of silent practice. Feel free to extend this silent time on your own to go deeper into your self-observation.

Isn't it interesting how five minutes can feel long when you're sitting in silence yet so fast when you're running late?

I see now why you have a 5💫 star review. I enjoy the practice you call noting. I engage a similar awareness practice that I call it “know-ticing.”
