How to practice it
Set the Practice
Record the date, time, and setting. Name the mindfulness exercise you planned (breath count, senses scan, wise mind, etc.).
Note the Experience
Capture what happened during the practice—sensations, thoughts, distractions, emotions, or shifts in body tension.
Reflect on Learning
Describe what you learned about your mind. Did returning attention get easier? What skill was most helpful?
Connect to Outcomes
Identify any impact on urges, mood, or effectiveness afterward. Even “no change” is useful data.
Real-world examples
Lunch break breathing
You logged a five-minute breath practice in the park. Distracting emails popped up in your mind; you labeled them “thinking” and returned to breath. Afterward, you felt less keyed up for afternoon calls.
Bedtime body scan
You tracked a nightly body scan. Noted restless legs and a racing mind; learned that adding progressive muscle relaxation helped you fall asleep faster.
Before you write
Pick one situation you are actually likely to face this week. The activity page works best when you complete it for a real moment instead of a hypothetical one.
