"Mindfulness-based STOP (Stop, Take a Breath, Observe, Proceed) Touching Your Face Intervention"

1\. Remind yourself to STOP. Whatever you are doing in this moment (e.g. touching your month, pinching your nose, rubbing your eyes, resting your chin on your hands), pause for a minute. 2. Take a deep breath. This reconnects you with your body. Pay attention to your breathing and just allow yourself to continue to breathe normally and naturally. 3. Observe what is happening for you in this moment-including thoughts, feelings, and emotions (e.g. feel distracted, anxious or nervous?). What do you notice in your body (e.g. feel itchy or tingling on any part of your face)? You can be aware of anything: posture, sensations, tension in your body, or, once again, your breath. You might notice the sound around you. You might even notice your thoughts or emotions. 4. Proceed with whatever you were doing before you came to a STOP or something that you want to do in the moment (e.g. proceed with touching your face, or stop face-touching and take an alternative behavior).
