Some things to keep in mind or concentrate on while doing these tasks..
- The small details that you may have otherwise missed
- The smells, textures or tastes around
- any judgements that you think of while doing the activity.
So let's get started with the list! (try something new from it)
- Colouring in (there are plenty of adult colour books around now
- Yoga
- Walking in the countryside
- Taking a bubble bath (too really focus on your senses, treat yourself to a nice bath bomb!)
- Doing puzzles (crosswords, arrow words, jigsaw)
- Learning about something that interests you
- Reading
- Drawing / doodling
- Breathing exercises
- Mediation
- eating
- Being mindful when strong emotions arise. where do you feel them? Is there any physical changes in your body?
- Listening to music
- Watching a film
- Walking the dog
- Baking
- Write a novel
- Write a poem
- Follow a tutorial or craft video
