Once you’ve been around long enough, your life starts to feel set in stone. Your
habits become routine, and that’s not necessarily a bad thing. If it ain’t
broke, right? But it’s important to strive to be a little better, to be a bit
more mindful, a bit more patient, a bit more focused, if not for yourself then
for your kids. Because in watching you strive to be better they’re taught
important lessons.

TIPS AND TRICKS

Play “There Is” The goal of this exercise to put parents and kids in touch with
their feelings by simply going around and asking each person to say what they’re
taking in (i.e., what “there is”) without judgment. “Start with, ‘There is
seeing. There is hearing. There is breathing,’” says Emily Horn, a certified
mindfulness coach in Asheville, NC. Then describe each other: “You might say,
‘There is Daddy being Daddy, there is Mommy being Mommy—there is people being
happy, sad, mad, and silly.’” The idea is to capture what you are experiencing
at a basic level, Horn explains. “It’s simple and it settles us,” she adds.

Eat Mindful Meals In this exercise, you’ll use your dinner plate as the tool for
teaching mindfulness. Start by using all your senses to savor each bite. Notice
the fork in your hand, and how the food smells as you lift it toward your mouth.
Do you associate the smell with any emotions? Place the forkful of food in your
mouth. Notice how you feel as you chew your food. What is the texture like? Is
it soft? Crunchy? Chewy? Rather than swallowing right away, chew more times than
you normally would. Notice any changes in texture and flavor as you do so. Sip a
glass of water between each bite and repeat, focusing on the flavors that are
released.
Want to fight anxiety and clear your head? Here are a few more mindfulness
exercises to remember.
