Notice where your body feels heavier or lighter. Notice where in your body is holding tension. With a deep breath in through your nose (on the count of 3) and out through your mouth (on the count of 3), imagine you are sending air to parts of your body that are tense. Notice where your body is hot or cold. Notice where the air hits your body. As you are breathing, listen for the smallest sound you can hear in the room. Notice any distinct smells in the room around you. Open your eyes and notice where the darkest/most shadowy spot in the room is. Notice if there’s any colors attracting your eye in the room. Notice if you can taste anything in your mouth.RecapNotice each of the 5 senses:Sensation/Touch (via body awareness), Hearing, Smell, Sight, and TasteApp-based mindfulness:HeadspaceCalmBoth of these apps offer free tutorial versions and had expanded editions that require subscriptions (free for the first month, $9.99 per month for each subsequent month)If you work for a school or in a hospital/health-care setting, Headspace is presently offering totally free subscriptions to promote self-care.EquanimityMeditation time that also features graphical tracking and a jornal featureYoutube Videos With Guided Mindfulness Exercises9 Minute Mindfulness Meditation with Sam Harris 10 Minute Mindfulness Meditation (the Honest Guys) Guided Meditation – 5 Minutes (Dr. Robert Dinenberg) Mindfulness Meditation on Controlling Negative Thoughts (15 min) 15-minute meditation: Body Scan Breathing Meditation – UCLE Mindful Awareness Research Center Relaxation/Guided ImageryGuided Imagery Tracks from Children’s Hospital of Orange County HYPERLINK "" Ways to Support Mental Health Coping with Stress During Infectious Disease Outbreaks (for Adults) Deep Breathing Exercises and Deep Relation via YoutubeLinks to guided deep breathing exercises via YoutubeGuided Meditation – Deep Relaxation Useful Psychotherapy Techniques and SkillsYoutube Video LinksAccepting Emotions – ACT Based Meditation Leaves on a Stream ACT – Stop Overthinking Guided Mindfulness Meditation Connecting with Values What are Cognitive Distortions?
