In this mindfulness practice, we ask that you do the following:
- Find a quiet place, close your eyes, and begin taking slow deep breaths through your nose.
- As you breathe, focus your attention on your eyes – your “mind’s eye” that lets you imagine; and your outer eyes, which are part of your brain, allowing you to see the world around you.*
- As you breathe, gratefully repeat the focus words in your mind:
Breathing in, think: “I can see the good …”
Breathing out, think: “…and say it.” - If your attention wanders, gently bring it back to your focus.
- When finished, tell someone, “Thanks!”
- Find a quiet place, close your eyes, and begin taking slow deep breaths through your nose.
*If you are blind, focus on your “inner eye” and your ability to be aware of kindness and say “Thanks.”
