Time To Visualize
Imagine giving yourself a built-in time each day to sit still, relax, breath and to observe your thoughts, emotions, and physical bodily sensations. All the while consciously focusing your attention on the present moment – and accepting it without judgment. Your mind may drift and that’s okay because you can simply choose to bring it back to the moment. Your breathing and heart rate slow and you begin to feel less tension in your shoulders and back. You feel more relaxed. Imagine everyone around you is doing the same thing along with you. It is quiet and the whole environment feels calm.
This is what mindfulness can look like, and over time it is a process that reduces stress, worry, and anxiety and helps with emotional regulation in students and adults alike.
