(light music) – Lidia. Hey, Lidia. Are you okay? – Oh. (laughing) Yes. Of course, Brandon. Never better. How are you? Did you finish your final exams? – No, I have one more exam tomorrow morning and I'm totally overwhelmed. No one ever said college would be this hard. But wait, what are you doing? – I am practicing mindfulness, it's a meditation technique. I use mindfulness to control my stress during the day, especially during exam week. When I practice mindfulness, I can handle my stress and keep my focus. Come on, I have an extra mat. Brandon, roll it out and I'll show you how it's done. – Sure, I'll give it a try. (bright music) – Okay, Brandon. The key to mindfulness is relaxing, and allowing your mind to acknowledge the physical sensations of your body and the thoughts that come into your head. This body scan exercise may help you stay focused throughout the day. – Okay, I'm ready. – [Lidia] First, lay back with your legs fully extended. You may keep your eyes open or closed, whatever helps you relax. Now, bring your attention to your breathing. Notice the air entering your nose, traveling down into your lungs, and expanding your chest. Then exiting as you exhale. You may notice noises around you or thoughts entering your mind. Acknowledge each one separately before moving onto the next. I want you to think of a leaf floating on a stream. Place each thought on a new leaf, and watch it float away. Good. Now, let's scan your body from head to toe. Starting with your head, your scalp, and your hair. Begin to run your attention towards your neck and then your shoulders. As your shoulders relax, bring your attention to your chest. Then to your abdomen, and from there to your back. Continue to relax each muscle. Focus now on your legs, then your thighs and your knees. Focus your attention on this moment. Right here, right now. Now move to your calves, your ankles, your feet, and your toes. Good, Brandon. Now focus your attention on scanning back up your body and on your breath. Slowly sit up and we are finished for today. (deep breathing) – [Brandon] Wow, it's been a long time since I've felt this relaxed. I need to keep practicing this so I can get good at it. – All you need is a quiet space. Mindfulness is one of many tools to help manage stress. Today we practiced body scanning, which is one of many mindfulness exercises. Next time we should consider finding a place with no distractions or interruptions, which will benefit our practice. – Thank you for teaching me this. I can see myself practicing mindfulness now and in the future. – No problem, Brandon. Glad to hear this was helpful. Feel free to join me anytime. (bright music)

Awesome!❤❤❤❤❤
Wow I haven't been this relaxed since before Christmas, why isn't this taught in schools worldwide?! Anyway I just wan't to say thank you! Also, i'm glad that I watched that German tv show on netflix, otherwise I probably wouldn't have known that this existed.
Should’ve honestly put no music or a much more calmer sound.
Sadly this shit never works on me.
Medhya Churna and Brahmi Vati of Planet Ayurveda are really effective in this condition.
Good tips. Simple yet useful technique.
With all due respect, it is all nonsense…
Mindfulness starts with small steps—focus on your breath, observe your thoughts, and stay present in the moment. 🌿✨
Ever time I feel stressed and having high anxiety level, I come back to this video. Never fails to work!
Also I highly recommend reading „Awaken your mind: Steps Toward Emotional Freedom“ by Tobias Austin Langford. 🙏🏼
Mindfulness thinking is a stupid method it overthinks and bypasses reality. My family does not agree with it as we are good at planning. 🧘🏽🫅🏽🐚🧝🏽🐊🧙🏽🕉️🔺➕
Blinking a lot. Problem sorted.
so how is this breathing going to stop me from falling into periodic depression, anxiety and procrastination? You think its that simple? Solve most of the problems in life by just breathing air…?
What a great experience 🎉

I like to think of it as Mindlessness. It's like the Samurai. No mind is better.
My therapist sent me this video. Anyone else?
This was insightful! Could you compare Stoicism with existentialism in a future video?
I struggle with low focusing and severe anxiety, yet this video helps me out so much!! I always listen to it before going to sleep to help me stay calm and relaxed throughout my sleep and to help me focus the next day, thank you for this video🤍
Can I try this while having anxious and can’t control my thoughts?
very good!
