Debrief - Mindful Noticing Exercise

Hi there and a very warm welcome to Season 6 Episode 27 of People Soup, it's Ross McIntosh here.

 This week., it's another cup-a-soup. A short episode which is in essence a debrief on the last two episodes where i talked about the human superpower of noticing and shared an exercise to enhance our skill of noticing, called a mindful meditation of body and breath.

I invited you to share your reflections after having a go at the exercise. This episode is a combination of those reflections, blended with typical reflections I receive when I share this exercise with adults in the workplace.

The feedback and reflections fall into three main categories. Let me share your reflections and my responses. You'll probably begin to notice a theme emerging.

• Relaxed and sleepy,
• mind wandering
• and sensations and emotions.

For those of you who are new to People Soup - welcome - it's great to have you here - I aim to provide you with ingredients for a better work life from behavioural science and beyond. For those of you who are regular P Soupers - thanks for tuning in - we love it that you're part of our community.
