Stress Management Tip #20

Practice Mindfulness: Heighten your awareness of the moment by focusing intently on an object. Notice a pencil's shape, color, weight and feel. Slowly savor a piece of chocolate. Mindfulness leads to relaxation.

Mindful walking is another technique. Simply pay attention to every step, the feeling you get when the foot hits the ground. Feel the toes, the knees, pay attention to all the feelings that every sensor in your body is sending to your brain. Next, try to isolate the feelings one by one.

This is mindfulness.
