Mindfulness Tips

• Take a couple of minutes each day to notice your breathing. Sense the flow of the breath, the rise and fall of your belly.
• Notice what you are doing as you are doing it and tune into your senses. When you are eating, notice the colour, texture and taste of the food. 
• Take some time to simply be. When your mind wanders to thinking, gently bring it back to your breath.
• Recognize that thoughts are simply thoughts; you don’t need to believe them or react to them. Just observe them.
• Notice where you tend to go into auto pilot (e.g., driving, emailing or texting, web surfing, feeding the dog, doing dishes, brushing teeth, etc.). Practise bringing more awareness to that activity by tuning into your senses.
