Watch the Rainbows for Two Minutes (Do Nothing Else)
Sometimes the best exercise is literally sitting down and staring at sparkles. No multitasking. No scrolling. Just light.
TL;DR:
This creative exercise uses your suncatcher as a mindfulness anchor. Watch the rainbows for two minutes and let your body practice staying put. Don’t have a suncatcher? Find a shadow. Or a glimmer. Or put a bowl of water in a spot where the sun reflects off of it.
Steps:
Sit where the rainbows/shadows/sparkles land.
Put your phone down.
Watch the colors and light shift for two minutes.
Breathe.
That’s the whole exercise.
I used to think mindfulness meant hour-long meditations. Turns out, tiny moments like this over time are just as effective (if not more.)
