MINDFUL SEEING
For some, the absence of visual stimuli can feel
stifling. Mindful Seeing is a simple exercise,
requiring only a window with some kind of a view.
The purpose of this activity is to help train your
mind to focus on what's ahead of you. Plus, it
helps you accept the things you see just as they
are, without the need to label them or judge them
in any way. It can ultimately help you accept your
thoughts and behaviors with a sense of calm as well.

MINDFUL LISTENING
Mindful listening is an important skill and can be
a great group mindfulness exercise. In general,
people thrive when they feel fully "heard" and
"seen," and mindful listening offers a break from
focusing on ourselves and our own responses.
Mindful listening is one of the best ways you can
incorporate mindfulness into your workday, and will
also help train your focus, boost your performance,
and can even improve your work relationships.
