Can you make mindfulness part of your everyday?/ A allwch chi wneud ymwybyddiaeth ofalgar yn rhan o'ch bywyd bob dydd?#mindfulness #focusonyourfood #nutrition #HealthyHabits @SBUHBDietetics

1/ #Mindfulness doesn’t need to take up too much time or effort. Taking just a minute out of your day to practise these techniques can help take you out of autopilot and become more aware of the present moment. 🧵👇
One minute mindfulness: mindfulness practices you can try anywhere, any time. 1/ Observe your breathing. 2/ Scan your body. 3/ Walk mindfully. 4/ Focus on your food. 5/ Listen to your surroundings.
