Interoceptive Weather Report
A daily body scan to catch stress early by noticing internal sensations.
Why it works
A refined body awareness helps you detect stress signals early. Regular practice strengthens your ability to regulate your emotions.
How to practice
- Find a spot to sit or lie quietly. Scan your body from feet to head, spending 30 seconds per major body region. Notice 3 types of sensation: temperature, movement (including pulse), and texture/pressure. Describe each sensation specifically.
- Practice daily, ideally at a consistent time. Notice if the resolution of your internal (interoceptive) awareness increases.
Good to know
Optional: Journal about what sensations you noticed and what your body might be telling you.
