  • Just a simple example I googled:

    • Sit in a quiet, comfortable place.
    • Set a short time limit if you’re a beginner (e.g., 5–10 minutes).
    • Focus on your breath and notice bodily sensations.
    • Gently return your focus to your breath when distractions occur.

    With body sensations, you can focus on the taste in your mouth for a minute, then switch to sounds you hear, how your fingertips feel etc. I usually close my eyes to better focus on each sensation. Just relax and gently observe what you experience right now.



  • These are some of the most common problems people seek therapy for, and there are several methods therapists teach to address these, such as meditation and mindfulness. It takes practice, but they have a lot of potential to help with intrusive, snowballing thoughts. You can practice anytime and mostly anywhere, but doing it is the hard part.
