Mindful Activities
On the page, you will find a range of activities you can do to help weave mindfulness into everyday life. We call this "informal practice".
As well as taking more notice of the things that are already going on in our minds, we can decide to pay more attention to all kinds of every day moments.
Deliberately paying attention in this way will prolong the time we spend in "mindful mode" and strengthen our ability to be mindful and compassionate under pressure.
