These exercises can take many different forms, such as meditation, mindfulness techniques, breathing exercises, visualization, journaling, and body scans. The goal of these practices is to help individuals develop a greater level of self-awareness, which can lead to improved emotional regulation, increased mental clarity, better decision making, enhanced creativity, and overall well-being.
