- When you focus so much on how your face looks, it's easy to forget about all that it does for you. Take the next few minutes to say thank you with a mindfulness facial. Start by situating yourself in a position where you can relax, sitting, lying down, or even comfortably standing. Close your eyes. Take a deep breath. Is there any discomfort in your face? Do you have any tenseness or tightness anywhere? Notice it, but don't judge it. Now, deliberately soften the muscles in your face, your forehead, your eyelids, your cheeks, your jaw. Relax, your tongue and your lips. Take a deep breath in, and then a long breath out. Now think about all that your face does for you. Your eyes, let you see the beauty in the world. Gently allow your eyes to open. Look around you. Is there something there that you haven't noticed before? When you're ready, close your eyes again. Your nose allows you to smell. What are your favorite scents? What smells remind you of home? Breathe deeply through your nose. Can you smell anything right now? Your skin helps you feel different textures, scratchy, smooth, bumpy, fuzzy. They can all be experienced because of your skin. Take your hands and place them on your cheeks. Be conscious of how this feels. Eventually, relax your hands back down. Your ears allow you to hear what's around you. What sounds can you notice right now? Listen for noises near and far away. Your mouth lets you taste. Think of your favorite foods. Your mouth is also the way that you speak and communicate with others. Now, it's time to express appreciation for each part of your face, your eyes, your nose, your skin, your ears, and your mouth. How does your face feel? How do you feel? Better? You've completed your mindfulness facial. Good job.
