Mindfulness is purposefully paying attention to the present moment, nonjudgmentally.

Tuning In + Acceptance:

This mindfulness practice provides a nonjudgemental space to notice what you’re feeling emotionally, physically and mentally. It will guide you in tuning in to your self nonjudgmentally. Please note that this recording ends to provide the last 5 minutes of self-practice in silence.

Self-Compassion for Self-Criticism:

This mindfulness practice introduces one of many ways to practice self-compassion. You will have the chance to identify negative beliefs about yourself and apply compassion to others and then to yourself. Please know that backdraft can occur in self-compassion exercises, which means it can feel emotionally overwhelming if self-criticism has been automatic for you for some time.

This exercise can help cultivate non-reactivity if you struggle with impulsivity or obsessive-compulsive thoughts/urges. However, it can also be helpful to practice as a way to generally exercise mindfulness, slow down or create distress tolerance.
