A mindfulness exercise that often helps both me and my clients is the Five Senses technique. Begin by focusing on what you can hear, smell, touch, taste, and see for a few moments. This simple practice can quickly foster a sense of calm and help center your attention. If you don’t notice an immediate effect, try extending the exercise for a longer period, allowing yourself to engage more deeply with your surroundings.

Acknowledge the Situation: Accept that the project is delayed without judgment. Recognize that feeling stressed is a natural reaction, but dwelling on it won’t move the project forward. Mindfulness helps you observe your emotions without getting overwhelmed by them. Set Small, Achievable Goals: Break down the delayed project into smaller tasks. Focus on completing each one, being fully present as you work. This reduces the feeling of overwhelm and gives you a sense of accomplishment, even as the larger project is behind schedule.

Presence is being with what CAN be done in the moment and not everything to be done. Yes, I want to get caught up on 13 different tasks and feel guilty/overwhelmed/frustrated. It's in the present that I can do what is in front of me with as much joy, peace and purpose as is available.
