3 easy ways to be more mindful

1. Be present in the everyday
   Use an everyday habit, like making a coffee, having a shower, or even hanging the washing out to check in, be present and notice what’s happening around you. 
2. Take up a mindful activity
   Choose an activity that needs your attention and focuses your mind. Colouring in or knitting are two great examples of mindful activity.
   
   Plus they are perfect to replace screen time and mindless scrolling on social media. 
3. Practice daily gratitude
   Write down 3 things at the end of every day that you are grateful for. This is also a great one to do with kids at bedtime. Share with each other 3 things that you were grateful for as the day comes to an end.

Mindfulness meditation
