Mindfulness Monday: Noticing your body 

When you think about the amazing functions that our bodies do everyday, it's truly extraordinary. Our bodies will naturally and unconsciously, move, breath and support our day to day functioning. 

 

When our days are full, and we are moving from thing to thing on our list, we may not notice the feelings in our body or how our body moves. Taking a moment to notice and bring our attention back to our body can be an important practice of mindfulness. 

 

Some times I do this in my day are when I am transitioning between spaces, or between tasks. For example, going from home to work, switching off from work to home life, or switching between cleaning the house to rest each evening. 

 

Noticing your body

Bringing your focus back to your body, is all about noticing sensation. It might be where your feet meet the floor, where your back meets the chair, or the feel of your feet in your shoes. 

 

Take a moment to notice what you can feel.
