3-by-3 Mindfully

Mindfulness is all about bringing nonjudgmental awareness toward whatever is happening in the current moment. This allows us to shift away from thinking about worries of the future or regrets of the past and the stress that comes from those thoughts.

One activity to quickly make this shift to relax and center ourselves in any place or space is the 3-by-3 Mindfully Activity. Try it now…

  1. Notice 3 things in the room that are green

  2. Close your eyes and visualize those 3 things

  3. Take 3 deep breaths in and out

Another option could be…

  1. Listen for 3 different sounds

  2. Notice three things that you feel (sensations like the clothing against your skin, feet on the floor, etc.)

  3. Take 3 deep breaths in and out
