Hi @Linmerc and y'all in this thread. 
I thought I'd resurrect this thread as it's topic Tuesday today and the topic is mindfulness.
Topic Tuesday starts at 7pm and runs to 9pm tonight and we'll be exploring mindfulness. Here's some more info for anyone keen to tune in!

Mindfulness is (as defined in this SANE blog) a mental and physical technique you can use to focus your awareness on the present moment. Being in the moment helps you acknowledge, accept and cope with painful or intrusive thoughts, feelings and sensations.
Here are just a few fundamentals of mindfulness:
- Observing (paying attention to what you might see in front of you, what colour is the plate you are eating your breakfast on?)
- Describing (describe an object in front of you as if to someone else who couldn’t see it)
- Noticing thoughts and being non-judgemental
What are some other mindfulness tasks you may have tried or heard of?
