Tired of living in your head? Shift your focus to your body with this relaxing practice.
This exercise is a beginner’s version of a body scan, one of the core components of Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction. Like other forms of mindfulness practice, you focus on what’s happening in the present moment. Practicing mindfulness consistently has been linked to lower stress levels in many studies, including one of more than 2,100 people ages 18 to over 65, reported in 2021 in Frontiers in Psychology.
