The colors, textures, and sounds of creating pull us into the moment.

What is a good mindfulness activity?
Focus on one thing that you can taste right now, at this moment. You can take a sip of a drink, chew a piece of gum, eat something, notice the current taste in your mouth, or even open your mouth to search the air for a taste. This is a quick and relatively easy exercise to bring you to a mindful state quickly. For example, when you eat a favorite food, take the time to smell, taste and truly enjoy it. Live in the moment. Try to intentionally bring an open, accepting and discerning attention to everything you do. Find joy in simple pleasures. Mindfulness activities are anything that helps train attention to focus on the present moment, non-judgementally. One example could be eating slowly and intentionally, focusing on every sensation and flavor.
