Happy Monday to everyone in the Mindfulness Community, I wish you all a great week laugh

Visualization exercises help to keep our minds alert. So, today, I like to invite you to the following exercise.

1. Choose 3 objects in your home

2. Study the first object and notice

a. Texture

b. Colour

c. Shape

d. Size

e. What it is used for

3. Close your eyes and see the object in your mind and recall it in much

detail as possible and burn the image into your mind.

4. Close your eyes again

5. Recall the object once more and visualize it with your mind

6. Hold that image for as long as you can

Start over with the second and then third object

enlightened How was this exercise for you, was it rather easy or did you have some difficulties?

@amiablePeace77 this is a great exercise- thank you! For me this normally comes very easy. It is something I can do even with 400 people around me-as they do not know I'm doing it. I finished it-but this morning I let the noises around me affect me. Kiddos too. But over all this was a great thing for me to do now-thank youheart

@amiablePeace77 ha not 100% I've been doing this sort of exercise for over 12 years. Most of the time I can concentrate. I was told once-"When we allow ourselves to be one-the doors will shut"

@amiablePeace77, How was this exercise for you, was it rather easy or did you have some difficulties? It was rather easy. I was able to hold the picture of the object in my mind longer each time.

You're right, I should have added why, good point wink It's because it shows that you are able to focus and have good memory skills in my opinion.

Great exercise! It seems today my mind is in a rush , visualize but moving quick from one task to another . I assume this is the morning rush related to my daily tasks and the target to finish them all 😊

Awesome Goldcherry! The good thing about it is also, you will know exactly where things are in your home wink I think doing it for several times will make it easier. Would love to hear more if you decide to keep on doing it smiley

This is an awesome exercise - Whether home or in my office at the shop I always have a candle burning. When I become nervous for a reason I stare at the flame and do my breathing exercises, it helps me unwind.
