Essential Mindfulness Practices for Stressful Times

1. The S.T.O.P. Technique for Immediate Stress Relief

A simple 4-step practice to pause and reset:

  1. Stop what you're doing
  2. Take 3 deep breaths
  3. Observe your body and emotions
  4. Proceed with intention

"Creating space between stimulus and response helps regulate our stress levels." - Elisha Goldstein

2. Connection Meditation for Isolation

Bob Stahl's 20-minute "Web of Life" practice:
- Focuses on interconnectedness
- Cultivates feelings of safety and belonging
- Helps overcome the illusion of separation

Key Steps:
1. Ground yourself in physical sensations
2. Expand awareness to your surroundings
3. Visualize connection to all beings
4. Return to mindful breathing

3. Mindful Strategies to Reduce Face-Touching

Instead of saying "don't touch your face," try:

  • Positive prompts: Ask "Are my hands below my neck?"
  • Hand meditation: Focus awareness on hand position
  • Alternative anchors: Keep hands at sides when not in use

Additional Mindfulness Resources

  • Anxiety reduction techniques
  • Practices to interrupt rumination
  • Methods to strengthen social connection

"Mindfulness helps us meet challenges with greater clarity and compassion."

We invite you to share these resources with anyone who might benefit. Together, we can cultivate resilience and care in our communities.
