Notice the sun or rain on your skin, the sensation of the heat or the cold.
Use your senses to notice the presence of others – their smell, touch, voice, smile and/or laugh and your reaction to them.
Keep a gratitude journal – write down the things you are grateful for on a daily basis.
Take photos of nature’s beauty – get them printed on paper or canvas.
Reminding yourself to take notice of your thoughts, feelings, body sensations and the world around you is the first step to mindfulness.
