I appreciate the simplicity of this senses-focused self-care illustration from Gemma Correll (Instagram: @gemmacorrell).

It relates perfectly to one of the suggested exercises from Heather Stang’s Mindfulness & Grief book. In the week 1 chapter, Mindful Awareness, there’s a meditation called Coming to Your Six Senses. (Thinking is the sixth.) You methodically scan through your senses, simply noticing what you notice. It works as a stand-alone exercise, she explains, or informally as you go about your day.

I found a similar guided meditation, called Embodying the Senses, from Erik Vienneau on the Insight Timer app. I like that it’s an easy concept to practice, just taking time to notice your senses, and doesn’t involve having to remember or do anything complicated.
