For 30 seconds listen very carefully to everything you can hear without focusing on any one sound. Notice your calm mind.
This works by taking up your full attention and temporarily distracting you from your auto-pilot mental habits.

We can work with our mental associations to help with our mental health. For example, if we’ve been feeling depressed for more than a couple of days we run the risk of starting to associate our surroundings with the feeling of being depressed, making it that much harder to pull ourselves out of it. Going to places we associate with happier times can help get us back on track sooner.

Count 1,2,3 very quickly 10 times, counting on your fingers. Then count down 3,2,1 very very slowly 3 times. Notice how your mind has slowed and calmed.
This works by using principals of subconscious awareness where the mind going from fast to slow energizes and calms down leaving us with a calm energetic mind. It’s the same process we often use with walking meditation to achieve a calm energized mind.

Take a deep cleansing breath and hold it for a few seconds then slowly exhale.
Taking a deep breath to refresh and refocus is a natural meditation most of us do already. We can get further the benefits by doing it more often as a stress preventative.

If you have difficulties when paying attention to breathing such as a lack of breath or feel a heaviness on your chest, common with people who have asthma, instead of paying attention to breathing, silently count down 3,2,1 then start over at 3 again.

We can create brand new helpful mental associations. A great example is the Stress And Anxiety Relief and Nature-Based Meditation programs.

We form both conscious and subconscious habits for everything we do on a regular basis, including thinking and meditating.
Mental habits are our time and energy saving auto-pilot way of navigating daily life.
Meditation is distracting ourselves from our normal auto-pilot thinking habits, and it works by replacing our current habits with new ones through repetition.

It's the space in between concentration and distraction where insight happens, it's called insight meditation and almost any meditation can become insight meditation if we notice when we're being distracted and ask yourself how and why it's happening.

Of our three mental resources, speculating deserves some extra attention. It's where our human innovation comes from, and is responsible for much of our reasoning ability.
On the other hand, our memories include an endless number of thoughts with speculation mixed in, which means a lot of what we think we know isn't necessarily right. This can be a hard pill to swallow.

This is a simple form of somatic shaking or therapeutic shaking that involves intentionally inducing and allowing the body to shake or tremble as a way to release stored tension and trauma from the nervous system. For best results shake/vibrate your whole body.
