Simple, secular, and scientifically validated exercise for your brain.
Some people think that practising mindfulness is all about meditating! WRONG! Mindfulness is calmly acknowledging and accepting your feelings, thoughts, and bodily sensations.
This might mean you have an easier time shrugging off worries, and that set back - from big assignments to everything happening in your personal life - don't hit you quite as hard.
Sit with your back straight and eyes closed.
Notice the weight of your body.
Now notice the feeling of your breath coming in and out.
Pick a spot where the feeling is the most prominent, common areas are the nose, chest,
or belly.
Focus your full attention on that point.
Don’t worry if you get distracted, that is completely to be expected!
The whole game is to notice when you have gotten lost and then start over, again and again.
Every time you start over is like a bicep curl for your brain. Start off by trying this from around 5-10 minutes, and then adjust the time as you get comfortable with the practise
