Redirecting Awareness
- What it is: Shifting your focus away from overwhelming or negative thoughts by grounding yourself in the present moment, especially through physical sensations.
- Why it matters: Anxiety and emotional overwhelm can dominate our mental state. Redirecting awareness helps to break free from this cycle.
- How to practice: Focus on a specific physical sensation, such as the feeling of your feet touching the ground.
Use this as a grounding tool to stay present.
“Awareness is like a flashlight; where we point it determines what we see.”
