Mindful lens of self and others

Interoception is the way we sense and feel our body

Integral to the development of interoceptive awareness is the development of mindfulness; capacity to maintain attention to present- moment experience with an attitude of openness, curiosity, and self-compassion

Mindfulness increases tolerance of our thoughts and feelings, particularly uncomfortable ones, and creates space for intentional response rather than unconscious patterned behavior

Allow these I am statements to help you incorporate a sense of mindfulness into your day

I am open in my approach

I am curious

I am compassionate

As we create new perspectives to view ourselves often, we naturally begin to apply these lenses to others

I am open in my approach to myself and others

I am curious about myself and others

I am compassionate towards myself and others
