Acknowledge Your Thoughts
Mindfulness is about living in the moment, listening to your body and your thoughts, and to help, we’ve put together a few exercises to get you going.
Reflecting on the present is an important part of staying mindful. Jot down your thoughts and feelings in a diary or a bullet journal for a relaxing way to end the day, and take a break from social media once in a while if it’s causing you some negative feelings or anxiety.

I was great at [___] today.
Good thing I [___] today.
Mindful Eating
