Dream Vacation Mindfulness
When we feel intense emotions, or during what feels like the 10th snow storm this winter, it can be helpful to use imagery to help regulate our emotions. Today, I'm going to ask you to imagine your dream vacation. To begin, I'd like everyone to allow their eyes to close gently, if this feels comfortable. If not, feel free to focus on a spot on the wall or the floor. Take several slow, deep breaths and bring your mind into the present moment. Try to imagine your dream vacation. Where would you go? Who would you take with you? How would you get there? What would you do? What would you eat? How long would you stay? Try to imagine what the weather would feel like, what the food would taste and smell like, and what the sights would look like. Try to engage your senses.
(Pause for a minute or two)
When you are ready, open your eyes and gently bring your mind back into this room and the present moment.
