Body Scan | Guided Mindfulness Meditation 5 minutes (2022) Stress and Anxiety Release

Mindfulness is paying attention and in a world of distractions competing for our attention, focus is one of our greatest tools.

Mindfulness is focusing our attention and when we notice our mind has wandered or got distracted we bring our attention back to an anchor, our breathing. The more we do this action of bring our attention back, the easier it becomes, like doing physical reps with weights at the gym.

A brain that is better at paying attention and is 'in the moment' allows us to be:
- less distracted, to get tasks done quicker and more effectively,
- less likely to get drawn into destructive negative thoughts, enabling us to lead a happier more confident life.
- more self aware of our thinking mind and are able to respond to challenges calmly rather than an emotional knee jerk reaction we may later regret.

These benefits are felt through regular (daily) use to build and maintain our mindfulness muscle. Just one Mindful Moment exercise each day is enough.

Here's some tips from our Pocket Mentor members on how to use Mindful Moments like this:
- "I like to use the daily Mindful Moment tool first thing in the morning to kick start the day"
- I use the Mindful moment exercises for myself in between tasks during a busy day and to calm in an anxious moment"
- "After the school pick up to reset for the evening"
- "I put it on for the kids in car on the way home from swimming class"

Along with our other 5 To Thrive mental wellbeing tools, in the Pocket Mentor app you'll get a different Mindful Moment exercise each day. Start thriving and join our empowered Pocket Mentor community with a 7 day free trial 🧠
