Mindfulness Exercise for Beginners!

Hello and welcome back to The Self-Care Lounge 💜

Here's a simple mindfulness exercise for beginners which I learned on my CBT Practitioner Certification.

1. Find a comfortable position. Breathe in and out deeply but naturally.
2. Press together gently your thumb and middle finger on each hand. Just lightly touching each other.
3. Make a circular motion on each pair. Doesn't matter the direction. Continue breathing deeply and calmly.
4. Pay attention to the feeling on your right middle finger. The sensation, the texture, is it soft? Is it rough? Is it warm? Or cold?
5. Move your attention to your right hand's thumb.
6. Do the same with your left hand.
7. When you're done with that exercise, make a circular motion on both pairs again. This time, pay attention to their direction.
8. Focus on changing the direction. And... Done! 😊

🦄 If you try it, how is it feels?

🦄 Do you have another simple mindfulness exercise? Care to share, perhaps?

Have a great weekend everyone!

Cheers! 🤗
