Weight Watchers: Meditate in 3 minutes
We all need a little time out for some headspace every now and then, and many people find they benefit from a technique called mindfulness meditation. It’s a proven stress-reduction technique that helps to reduce anxiety, stress and depression.
Try this 3-minute breathing space meditation…
- Sit in an upright chair or stand and close your eyes.
- Tune into your breathing and ask, ‘What am I thinking right now? What feelings do I notice? What bodily sensations can I sense (eg a stiff neck)?’ Don’t try to change anything; just acknowledge these sensations and let them go.
- Now narrow your focus to the sensations of breathing in your abdomen, expanding as you breathe in and falling back as you breathe out. But don’t alter your breath.
- Now focus on being aware of your whole body and its place in the room (or wherever you are) – think of it as your whole body breathing. Then slowly move your fingers and toes, open your eyes and continue your day, refreshed.
