1 Minute Mindfulness Exercise: Touch of Happiness

A delicate pale rose amidst lush greenery with the inspiring message: 1 minute mindfulness: touch of happiness for your spiritual journey.

Did you love touching things as a kid?

Did it or does it soothe your soul and calm you down?

There’s a great reason behind that calming, joyful, tactile experience!

Taking a moment to really experience your surroundings helps to pull your perspective out of your constructed mind and into true reality. This practice of mindfulness helps your body and mind understand the stress-free nature of the present.

Stress only exists when we worry about the future or dwell on the past, so by focusing on the present moment, we reduce our anxiety and increase our happiness!

The easiest way to be present is to focus on and actually experience your senses!

We touch things every day, but do we think about the things we touch? Do we really ‘feel’ when we touch things? By taking a moment to really feel, we tell our minds to focus on that real feeling in the present, rather than a harmful thought that will never come to life.
