If you’re finding it difficult to be still, it’s important to take time out of your day. Mindfulness can help you refocus your energy. You can think about how you’re feeling in the moment – whether you’re tired or have any aches – and prevent your mind from wandering to other things.
To make the most of your mini break, sit down comfortably and focus your attention fully on the feeling of your feet touching the floor, or your bottom on the chair. You can also get your senses involved, and focus in on what you can smell, see, hear, feel or taste at the present moment. Take at least a few minutes to pay attention to your body instead of what you’ve been doing.
