Nature Walk or Mindful Safari
Spending time outside is great for your physical and mental well-being. Being surrounded by nature can help you practice mindfulness and connect with yourself. There are so many sights, sounds, smells, and textures out in nature. These will all help add to your mindfulness practice. You don’t even have to go far to practice mindfulness in nature. You could simply stand outside your front door and focus on your senses. If you choose to walk around, make sure you are walking silently so that you can notice all the little details around you.

Mindful Coloring
A fun way to practice your mindfulness and focus your mind on the present is through coloring! Print out a coloring page below and spend some time relaxing through creativity. Try not to worry about what happened yesterday, what is going to happen tomorrow, or even what you are going to do when you finish coloring. Instead, focus all of your attention on your coloring. If you feel like you made a mistake, just breathe and move on. It is all part of the experience in practicing your mindfulness.
