🌿 Feeling overwhelmed? Struggling to let go of anxious thoughts? Try the Leaves on a Stream mindfulness exercise. 🍃

Close your eyes and imagine a gentle stream flowing by. As thoughts arise, place each one on a leaf and watch it float downstream. 🌊🍂

Don’t judge or engage with the thoughts—simply notice them, place them on a leaf, and let them drift away.

This practice helps you create distance from your thoughts, allowing them to pass without getting stuck. ✨

Research has shown that Mindfulness practices like this can help us to manage stress and anxiety more effectively in our lives!
