Monday Mini: Breath Counting. This is a great way to anchor our attention in the present moment when the mind is especially busy.
-Find a comfortable posture. Close the eyes if it feels safe.
-Notice your breathing. Maybe find a spot where you can feel the breath most vividly (e.g., tips of nostrils, belly).
-On each exhale, count "1," then "2," and so on. Count to 10 exhales, then start over.
-If your mind wanders and you forget what number you're on, no problem! Just start over again at 1.
