Learning how to be curious about the internal and external sensations is like sending out a spoke from the hub of awareness to the rim of attention along 4 quarters: noticing what comes through the 5 senses is the first quarter, then paying attention to our body sensations, thirdly noticing and allowing our inner thoughts and emotions, and fourthly aware of how we connect with others. (cf Dan Siegels Wheel of Awareness).
These 6 mindfulness practices constitute a solid starting point for bringing mindful awareness into your life and helping you strengthen the Executive Functions. Do practice them regularly. While they are simple to do, the effects only come with time. You will notice that instead of snapping or slamming a door in frustration you will now stop, breathe and observe your body before proceeding.
