Practice mindful moments by engaging all five senses: sight, hearing, touch, taste, smell. The activities for week one will challenge you to focus on your senses, improve self-awareness, and be present with the world around you. Keep track of your activities with the Mindful Moments Daily Planner.

Week 1 Activities:

1. Walk or sit in nature, focusing on the colors you see.

2. Listen to your favorite music.

3. De-clutter your environment to help clear your mind.
