Some signs your body may be saying no:
- your stomach is in knots
- you feel tired or heavy
- you have tightness in your body or your breath
- your heartbeat stutters
- you have difficulty speaking up
- you have a lump in your throat
- you hunch over or make yourself small
- you feel frozen or stuck
- your fingers curl in to make fists
- your jaw clenches

Have you noticed any of these signs?

Take a moment, right now, to ask yourself this question: "Where are my feet?"

Yours could be inside shoes and stepping on a sidewalk. You can feel the firm concrete beneath you.

Or, yours could be bare and balancing on your couch's armrest. You can feel your heels touching the fabric.

This is a quick mindfulness exercise that helps you pause and get grounded in the midst of a busy day.

So, where are your feet? Feel free to comment below!
