Get out of your mind and ride your breath (DW#715)
Today’s strategy is similar to yesterday’s one where we slowed our thoughts by focusing our attention on the environment around us.
Today let us get out of our mind by focusing on our body.
You can start with noticing your breath. Are you breathing fast, shallow, deep? No need to change it in any way or judge or label it. Simple notice it. Just "ride the breath" and focus your attention on it. And when you notice that your attention has wandered (which it will), simply bring your attention back.
That is it actually. The whole exercise.
Notice your breath.
When you notice that your mind has wandered away from the breath, bring it back.
Repeat. Again and again.
