MENTAL HEALTH MINUTE

 

Greetings from the CARES Hub! 

 

Have you heard about the practice of mindfulness? Mindfulness is the act of living in the present moment and being aware of exactly what is going on around you, without any judgment. The key to embodying mindfulness is to turn into a keen observer. Engaging your five primary senses can help you take in the world around you. Practicing mindfulness is a fantastic way to slow down, reduce stress, and ground yourself.

 

Engaging your senses is a mindfulness activity that you can do most anywhere:

 

First, take a few deep cleansing breaths. Then engage your senses by noting 5 things you can see, 4 things you can touch, 3 things you can hear, 2 things you can smell, and 1 thing you can taste. Take time to do this activity. Do not rush! This is a brain aligned attention focused practice, meaning that by mindfully focusing on your senses, your brain moves away from thoughts of stress, and your central nervous system begins to relax, leaving you with a sense of calm. We hope you will try it!
