The first activity is a brief sample one, followed by another one that gives you 24-hours to complete it.
Activity 1: The Body Listening Moment
- Take a moment to look around and name where your body is physically located at in this moment. Be as specific as you can.

- Move & stretch different parts of your body and pay attention to where you feel tension, tightness, discomfort or are aware of something else.
