20 mindfulness activities

We can (and should) practice being mindful every day. It's not always easy to start with, especially if you're stressed, but that is why you should! Here is a list of activities that you can try being mindful with. Fully concentrate on the task, letting any negative thoughts float away.

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.

2. Yoga
3. Walking in the countryside
