11-17th May 2015 is Mental Health Awareness Week
This year's focus is on 'Mindfulness' - Find a leaflet about it here
A Mindfulness activity from mentalhealth.org:
Find a comfortable posture. Close your eyes. Allow your body to be held, supported by the chair. Notice the sensation of your body in contact with the chair
Become aware of your breath, tune into the sensations of breathing, wherever you feel them. No need to change the way you’re breathing, just tuning in, wherever you feel it.
Sometimes you’ll find that your mind wanders – and that’s not a problem – it’s what the mind does. Whenever you notice your mind wandering, acknowledge it, and then gently return your attention to the breath.
This is something you could do any time in the day, wherever you are – at the computer, on the bus, standing in a queue – taking a good posture, taking a few mindful breaths.
