Self-Care for the Senses Poster
Written by Kristi Yeh, LMFT
Mindfulness is about being connected to the present moment. One of the easiest ways to do this is by checking in with your senses. When you are focused on what you are seeing, smelling, hearing, tasting and touching--you are connected to the present moment. You do not have to meditate in order to be mindful.
In my job as a school-based mental health clinician I support families in coping with symptoms of anxiety. I created this self-care for the senses poster to help kids and parents come back to the present instead of focusing on the future. I hope these self-care ideas offer a soothing energy for your senses!
