Mindfulness Without the Hype: Practical Ways to Stay Present

Mindfulness is more than meditation—it’s the art of paying attention to the present moment.

You don’t need to sit cross-legged for an hour to benefit from mindfulness.

Simple Mindfulness Practices:

• 5-4-3-2-1 grounding: Notice 5 things you see, 4 you can touch, 3 you hear, 2 you smell, 1 you taste

• Mindful eating: Slow down and savor each bite

• Walking meditation: Feel each step and breath

Mindfulness isn’t about perfection. It’s about presence.
