Being mindful, totally aware of the present moment, includes being aware of the physical space you take up in the world.
- Right now, stop whatever you are doing and take the time to be mindful of your own body. Stretch your arms and legs, really experience the lengthening of your muscles.
- Clench your hands into fists and then release them. Clench and release. Do it more than once so you become more flexible.
- Tighten your feet into balls and release. Wriggle your fingers and toes.
- Gently move your head clockwise and then counterclockwise, drawing a circle with your nose. This will also help you to relieve any tension you may be holding, especially in your neck and shoulders.
Really look at your hands and observe how they connect to your arms, how your arms connect to your torso and so on through your body.
We spend so much time in our heads, thinking anxious busy thoughts, especially before falling into bed each night, that we forget what a marvel the human body is.
Taking a few moments to focus on the experience of being in your body physically anchors you into self-awareness in the present moment. This is a good habit to get into. Do it a couple of times a day and notice how much more relaxed and aware you feel.
