Day 5: Practice Mindfulness

[Greeting]

Thank you for joining us on day 5 of the 21-Day Meditation and Mindfulness Challenge. 
Today, we are exploring mindfulness with some simple tips and tricks for being more 
mindful in your daily life. 

Mindfulness is the simple act of being present, not only physically, but in your thoughts, 
feelings, and emotions. It is a state of accepting the current moment and appreciating it, 
without judgment of yourself or the way you think or feel. 

Mindfulness is often combined with meditation, though it doesn’t have to be. 


Activities for Being More Mindful

The great thing about mindfulness is that it can be done anywhere, where nearly every 
activity you do throughout the day gives you the opportunity to be more mindful. 

Here are some ideas:

*	While brushing your teeth or washing your face
*	In the shower
*	While going for a walk
*	Playing fetch with your dog
*	Relaxing on the couch
*	Cooking dinner
*	Driving home from work
*	Eating a meal

Mindfulness is not about focusing on any specific thing or trying to clear your mind. It is 
simply about being present, considering how you feel and think in that moment, and just 
accepting it for what it is. 


Today in the Workbook: In today’s workbook entry, you are going to get a new journal 
prompt that will help you with practicing mindfulness, along with an affirmation you can 
use throughout the day to stay in a mindful state.
