The Benefits: Teaches emotion&nbsp; regulation and mindfulness.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>How It Works:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>a. Sit up straight, each foot planted into the ground, hands resting on each thigh,&nbsp; palms towards the sky. Gently make a fist with each hand, while still leaving your&nbsp; hands resting on your thighs. Close your eyes if you\u2019re comfortable doing so.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>b. This is a mindfulness meditation, so there is no need to breathe in a controlled&nbsp; way. Just sit still and breathe naturally.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>c. As you notice a feeling or a thought float into your awareness, squeeze you left&nbsp; fist if you feel negative about that feeling or thought. Squeeze your right fist if you&nbsp; feel positive about that feeling or thought. Regardless of which fist you squeeze,&nbsp; repeat \u201cnot mine\u201d in your head and release the thought or feeling.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>d. Set a timer and do this meditation for a few minutes. You can start this meditation&nbsp; by doing just one minute and slowly adding a minute each time you do it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Meditation takes practice, and the more you do it, the easier it is to sit for longer periods.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Claire N.
