Welcome.
This is a three-minute mindfulness practice to just briefly check in with yourself at any point of the day when you need a pause.
So first of all,
Just taking a few deep breaths,
Bringing yourself into the present moment.
And then turning your attention inwards towards your physical body.
And without judgment or analysis,
Just noting what sensations you can feel.
Any areas of tension,
Lightness,
Tingling,
Anything at all.
Just noticing,
Increasing your awareness.
And then we're going to move our attention onto our breath.
Just noticing where your breath has settled.
Where do you feel it?
Are your breaths deep or shallow?
Jagged or free-flowing?
Do you feel it in your chest,
Belly,
Or at the tip of your nose?
Checking in with our breath can give us an indication as to how we're feeling.
We feel most of our emotions through our breath.
And then checking in on your thoughts.
Inviting them in.
Maybe you have lots of racing thoughts.
Maybe just one or two.
Or maybe not many at all.
All is fine.
Just noting to yourself what they are and then letting them go.
As if they're leaves floating down the stream.
They might come back and then we just let them go again.
And just turning towards the whole of your experience.
And just taking one deep last breath.
And expressing gratitude for finding three minutes to check in with yourself today.
Go well.
