Mindfulness Practice 9:

1. Make a list of 5 things you appreciate and the reason you are grateful for these things.
2. Look at your list and re-read each item. After each item say thank you, thank you, thank you with as much intention and emotion as possible.
3. Draft what your personal vision for the future is, and how you can accomplish this working with others.
4. Identify areas or situations where you have been a good team member in the past. If you identify a situation where you could have been a better team member, imagine you are in the situation again but now, in your head, take a different more collaborative approach. And say thank you, thank you, thank you for having done that. Next time you will make the right choice.
5. Reflect on the practical things you need to do to work better with others, and why it is OK to ask others for help.

Be Well. Be Safe. Be Grateful.

To get the most out of the Being Present Practice, David recommends:

1. Finding a fixed time during the day where you can do the practices at the same time every day. Five to ten minutes will be enough to listen to the recordings and to do the exercises.
2. Committing to doing the exercises every day for the length of the practice.
3. Keep going! You might feel that a particular day is too hard, or might not make sense, keep going as it is probably your defence mechanism trying to stay in the same state as you are and not wanting to change.
4. Changing when you do the practices. If you find the exercise hard to do, try another time in the day for that practice.
5. Not giving up on the writing exercises. Some tasks could be easier than others, however, please stick to the writing exercises. You will be surprised by how many more things you can be positive about without knowing.
