This helps you feel calm and focused, even when things get a little wild. You'll learn to chill out your whole body from your toes to your nose.
2034Where this could take you
During the busy Olympics in 2034, you'll be the calmest person in the crowd, able to handle any challenge with a clear head. You'll be a peaceful leader!
What You'll Need
Optional materials for this quest.
Yoga Mat or Foam Pad
RequiredA thin mat gives you a comfortable, clean surface to lie down on during body scan practice. Any yoga mat works — you just need something between you and a hard floor.
Sleep Mask / Eye Cover
RequiredBlocking out light helps your brain shift into a relaxed, inward-focused state much faster. A simple contoured sleep mask is an inexpensive upgrade for daytime body scan practice.
Mindfulness Journal (Guided Prompt Style)
A simple guided journal with prompts like "I noticed..." helps you track how your body scan practice is changing over time. Writing even one sentence after each session accelerates results.
