Mind Tools & Inspirations: Beautiful
Yes, simple can be powerful. In this 3-minute practice you connect with something beautiful.
TRY THIS…
If you have time, let me guide you so you can focus on your experience.
HERE IS THE PRACTICE
Close your eyes and check in with how you are doing.
Notice if some part of you feels tight or tense.
Then as you exhale, gently release some of that tension.
Exhaling, releasing tension.
Now sit comfortably and invite something beautiful to come to mind.
Just wait and allow something you find beautiful to show up.
Focus your attention on that beautiful thing.
Let your attention be drawn to some part of you that feels good.
Notice how it feels.
As you inhale, gently bringing in more of that good feeling.
Inhaling that good feeling.
Now invite a different beautiful thing to come to mind.
Just wait and allow something else you find beautiful to show up.
Focus your attention on that beautiful thing.
Notice how you feel.
As you inhale, gently bringing in more of that feeling.
WHY DO THIS?
Where you place your attention throughout the day influences your human system—your body, emotions, thoughts, and behavior.
Focusing your attention on a beautiful thing can influence how you feel, how you think, and how you behave.
Mind Tools & Inspirations are experiences for busy, smart, curious people to help you operate your human system.

It was very difficult not to focus on the living people, pets and botanicals in my life; but I managed. If it is not organic, I have little interest.
From a UX standpoint, I appreciate audio-only for the meditation. I have tried breathing techniques with videos. You can still close your eyes, but it is distracting to have a video of the guide - especially for those of us prone to distraction;)
