This Mindfulness exercise will change your life…if you DO it!

  • By Marc Reklau
  • In Blog, Change, Power Habits

“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.” – Buddha

5…4…3…2…1…be here now! 

What at first sight looks like a countdown to a rocket launch is actually one of the most powerful exercises I was taught in the last few years. Credit goes to my NLP Trainer Anna Flores! Thank you for this great exercise Anna!

The least it will do for you – if done regularly – is sharpen your senses, but don’t be surprised if it does even greater things for you… For me and some people of the training it has done amazing things!

The basics of this exercise is centred on seeing (visuals), hearing (auditive), and feeling (kinestetic). The idea is to be “in the moment” and more aware of what you see, hear, and feel.

So you start with being consciously aware of 5 things you see, 5 things you hear and 5 things you feel. Then 4 things you see, 4 things you hear, 4 things you feel, then 3, then 2, and then finally 1 …

 

You can do this anywhere!

I did this one on a train:  Here we go!

5)

I see a red scarf

I see a Black bike

I see a blue sweater

I see a red bag

I see a white cable

I hear voices

I hear a tone

I hear a voice

I hear something scratching

I hear a door

I feel my feet on the floor

I feel some cold air on my hands

I feel cold air on my feet

I feel somebody Stepping on my toe

I feel my jeans on my skin

4)

I see a blue and white bag

I see a Black bike

I see a Black jacket

I see a white cable

I hear a cough

I hear voices

I hear a tone

I hear people moving

I feel my feet on the floor

I feel my jacket on the skin

I feel my feet on the floor

I feel my jeans on the skin

3)

I see a red bag

I see a red jacket

I see the sea

I hear distant voices

I hear somebody move

I hear distant voices

I feel my feet in my shoes

I feel my mobile in my hand

I feel air

2)

I see a red scarf

I see a beige jacket

I hear a beeping

I hear a distant voice

I feel my feet on the floor

I feel my jeans on my skin

1)

I see a red handle

I hear the noise of the train

I feel my back against the chair

 

Do this five times a day for 3 weeks and let me know what it did for you!
