Showering Mindfulness works particularly well as it is such a visceral experience, rich in sensory input which we can use to move ourselves out of our thoughts and into the peace of the present moment.

In the shower we are alone, we are safe and there is nowhere else to go. We are in there for the duration and it is a perfect time to be fully grounded in our bodies.

Learn to be self-compassionate and talk gently to yourself. Replace judging or criticising yourself by developing a nurturing inner voice and say to yourself during hard times “You’re a good person going through a hard time. You’ll get through this, lets take one moment at a time. It will be okay”.
