A first step to reduce stress - crunch on autumn leaves!
Hi Neighbours, did you know that paying attention to your body with a friendly attitude is a first step to reducing stress?
For example, you might feel into the sensation of the soles of your feet as you stand, wait in a queue, walk on grass or sand - or autumn leaves! It can be as easy as that.
Being in the present moment like this creates a sense of stability, an anchor for ourselves that helps ease the mind and reduce chronic stress.
