"Use body scan meditation to build attentional control Research shows that people who spend more time in present-moment awareness experience less anxiety and greater life satisfaction. A practical entry point is the 'body scan': systematically focus on each body part from feet to head, engaging all senses — noticing temperature, pressure, and texture. When your mind wanders, 'you simply bring your attention back to the body part that you were on.' Even a basic 10-minute daily practice 'builds attentional control which helps you focus on and appreciate your present experience,' directly countering the rumination loops linked to anxiety and depression.
