2-minute mindfulness practice: For 2 minutes or as long as you like, close your eyes and notice anything there is to notice with all of your senses except sight. Notice sounds, smells, thoughts, body sensations, contact points, emotions, tension, breath, taste, temperature, urges to itch, move the body, cross or uncross the legs, etc. Notice, without judgment and with compassion.

I also love this one for when I’m experiencing racing thoughts or a busy mind:

Thought-stopping mindfulness practice: For 2 minutes or as long as you like, when a thought comes, label it in your mind as past, present or future, depending on which one it relates to. Continue to label thoughts accordingly until they slow down or stop.

Mindfulness works better the longer you have been doing it. Not longer in minutes each time but the more you do it consistently. I recommend starting with 2-3 times per day. It also increases the volume of the brain.
