Go easy on yourself as you practice mindfulness. Things will become second nature with time and patience, and you will feel the progress soon!

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Get in the habit of expressing gratitude to yourself and other people openly and regularly!

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

When you’re having a conversation with someone, let go of your internal dialogue and give your full attention to the person who is speaking.

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Take a look around. What do you see? What do you feel? What are you grateful for at this moment?

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

A great way to get into the habit of practicing mindfulness is to associate the practice with physical activity like brewing a cup of tea, microwaving your lunch, or brushing your teeth.

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Being mindful means being mindful of how we treat others, which means granting the people we care about with our full attention. (This means put your phone down!)

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Quick! What’s the first thing you can think of that you’re happy about and grateful for in your life?

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Take note of what you’re noticing about yourself; doing so will help you track your progress and gain insight into how your mind is changing with mindfulness.

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

If you’re still working on integrating mindfulness into your daily life, try not to think too much about how other people do it and instead focus on what practices work for you.

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Checking in with yourself and your emotions in a mindful way can help you learn about your needs and how you can treat yourself in a kind and compassionate way.

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Ask yourself this question: do you treat yourself the way you would treat a good friend?

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

When you notice something like an unhealthy habit or self-sabotaging behavior, instead of beating yourself up for partaking in it, forgive yourself and practice compassion.

For some people, the act of coloring can be extremely calming and meditative. To find printable PDFs of coloring books, just search “mindful coloring pdf”

When you’re feeling overwhelmed, remind yourself that every emotion comes in a wave, which means that every emotion has an end!

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

When you’re feeling thirsty, your body is already dehydrated. This is your reminder to find yourself a sip of water - your body will thank you!

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

When was the last time you walked around barefoot? Even if this is something that you regularly do, how closely do you pay attention to the way your feet feel against the ground?

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

What’s the last “little moment” that you remember cherishing?

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Today, take a moment to explore a space that you’re familiar with (like your bedroom, office, or the inside of your car) with the eyes of someone from a different planet who has never seen such a thing before.

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

If you’re feeling like you’re losing control of your emotions, take a deep breath and try to focus your attention on your surroundings. Also, remember that the discomfort will pass!

[Derek Mindset Becton @derekmbecton]

Take a moment to scan your surroundings and reach out to something within arms reach and run your fingers over it and feel the texture, temperature, edges, and curves that it has.
