Let’s face it, we don’t usually have a shortage of clouds above us here in West Wales, but have you ever taken the time to look at them more closely? In fact, cloud watching can be a really effective mindfulness and relaxation exercise. Whether you’re busy finding animal shapes as the clouds morph overhead or simply watching fluffy, white wisps lazily drifting across the sky, following their slow fluid movements is a great way to concentrate your attention and calm your mind.
It’s also a fun activity to share with the kids over the Easter holidays – especially if you’re trying to help them focus and relax. So, the next time you’re feeling stressed, why not look up, lie back and indulge in a sneaky spot of cloud watching? It might be just what the doctor ordered.
