Using the “How” Skills:
ONE-MINDFULLY
The quality of awareness that we bring to where we are, what we’re doing, and experiencing; to being in the here and now.
Learn to focus on being in the present, to focusing on, to focusing our attention on what we are doing and what is happening in the present. Control our attentions.
Example: If you’re going to eat, eat. Don’t read or watch TV at the same time
Example: When talking with a friend, talk with them not be on the computer at the same time
Conscious Breathing – We are always breathing, however it is an automatic response for our bodies. Conscious breathing is more or less, practicing different breathing techniques and actually thinking about it; paying close attention to how we are doing it and how we feel while we are doing it
.Do one thing at time – easier said than done. Try letting go of distractions (thoughts worries strong feelings, etc…) and let them go. Use your conscious breathing and with each exhale, let that feeling or thought go.
Concentrate you mind – if you try doing something different things at once, STOP! Focus on one thing, complete it, and then move on to the next iten.
Thought stopping – Handle one at a time and tell the others “not now”.
