How to start practicing mindfulness 

Picking and choosing from some of the above tips can help you start practicing mindfulness. If you’re not feeling drawn to a particular activity, don’t try it. The goal is not to do everything. It’s to find something that does work for you. Maybe one tip feels better to you one day, while a more low-key option suits your energy level at another time.

How does your body feel when it is connected vs. disconnected and where do you feel it? Be specific.
