5 Simple Mindfulness Exercises for Stress Relief

Araceli Lemus-Carrera | Blog Author

Mindfulness is a gentle practice of bringing your awareness to the present moment without judgment. When you feel overwhelmed, taking a few minutes to pause and tune into yourself can be surprisingly soothing.

One way to begin is by focusing on your breath. Find a comfortable seat and notice the natural rhythm of your inhales and exhales. If your attention wanders, gently bring it back to the sensation of breathing. Another simple practice is the body scan; close your eyes and slowly move your attention from your head down to your toes, noticing areas of tension and softness. This helps you reconnect with your body and release stress.

You can also incorporate mindfulness into everyday activities. Try walking slowly and paying attention to how each step feels, or savoring a meal by noticing the textures, flavors and aromas. Journaling can be another mindful exercise; take a few minutes to write about how you’re feeling or what you’re grateful for. With consistent practice, these exercises cultivate a calmer, more centered state of mind and make it easier to navigate stress.
