Being Mindful - Full Sensory Awareness Exercise

Stop! Do this right now!

Wherever you are, just stop and look around you (make sure its safe to stop!)

Become aware of everything that your senses pick up.

How do you feel?

What are you seeing, hearing, sensing, smelling?

Take a moment and appreciate where you are and what is happening along with how you are actually feeling. If you are having negative feelings, what can you do to turn these around? A breathing exercise could help - in for 4 secs, hold for 4, let out for 4 and wait for 4, before starting the process again, slowing down helps us to cultivate a deeper sense of self-awareness and mindful being.
