DAY 1: S.T.O.P Practice
Welcome! We're so glad you've joined us for a few moments of clarity. Your goal for the next three days is to press play on each practice and join the hundreds of others in our wider community who are doing the same thing. How cool is that? (Literally, how much might we cool it?)
Set aside just three minutes in a quiet spot. Click on the button below, and do your best to follow the instructions in the recording.
Your attention will wander—probably a lot. That's normal. When you notice you've moved on to other thoughts, gently bring your attention back to the recording. The practice of mindfulness is in noticing that moment when the mind wanders, not in the elimination of mind-wandering.
If you become emotionally overwhelmed at any point during these practices, please take care of yourself by backing out of the practice. Open your eyes and look around. Take a few deep breaths. Stand up and walk around the room.
