Mindfulness Bell

I can get very caught up in my thoughts and miss this moment now. Mindfulness is very good for our brains - like exercise is for our bodies.  I have come across a lovely way to be reminded to drop into the present.  Download the mindfulness bell onto your computer and set it to sound randomly.  Whenever it sounds pause and
  • listen to the sound and see if you can catch when it finishes
  • notice 5 breaths - the air going in and out, the movement of your chest
  • notice your 5 senses - Notice 3 things you are experiencing in each sense.
