ONE-MINDFULLY
The one-mindfully skill will help you learn how to:
 Focus on one thing in the moment
 Let go of distractions
It can feel overwhelming and confusing to do too many things at once. One-mindfully can help you slow down. One-mindfully teaches you to just pick one thing to focus on at a time.
You can pick an activity to focus on, like watching tv. You can pick a thought to focus on, like thinking about what you will buy at the store.
The important thing to remember is to just pick one thing at a time.
There are a lot of things that can distract you when you are practicing the one-mindfully skill.
THOUGHTS
SOUNDS
OTHER PEOPLE EMOTIONS
PHYSICAL SENSATIONS
It is okay to get distracted. Gently remind yourself to bring your focus back to the one thing you picked to focus on right now. You can pick something else to focus on later.
Practicing the one-mindfully skill is about letting go of distractions over and over again. This takes a lot of practice.
