The beauty of mindfulness is that anyone can practice it, anywhere, anytime. No special equipment or training is required, just a willingness to focus your attention and be present in the moment.
heretofore are some simple awareness exercises you can try.
Mindful breathing: Sit comfortably with your back straight and eyes closed. Focus your attention on your breath as you inhale and exhale, noticing the sensations in your body without judgment.
Body scan: Sit or lie down and slowly bring your awareness to each part of your body, starting with your toes and working your way up. Notice any sensations, such as tension, pain, or warmth, without judgment.
Mindful walking: As you walk, pay attention to the sensations in your body, the ground beneath your feet, and the sounds around you. Avoid getting lost in thoughts and simply be present in the moment.
Sensible eating: When you eat, take your time and savor each bite. Catch the flavors, textures, and smells of the eating. Avoid distractions and be fully present in the experience of eating.

Mindful observation: Take a few minutes each day to observe something in your environment, like a flower, a bird, or even a simple object. Pay close attention to its details without judgment and allow your mind to rest from its usual busy thinking.
