Being Present

Worksheet Description

The “Being Present” mindfulness worksheet is a tool designed to help students cultivate awareness of their immediate experiences through the use of their senses. At the top, the sheet identifies its purpose with the heading “Being Present,” which succinctly emphasizes the importance of paying attention to the present moment. Below this, a brief statement elaborates on the concept, explaining that being present involves attentive observation of what is happening right now. A colorful illustration of a person sitting in a meditative pose reinforces the theme of focused attention and introspection.

The main body of the worksheet provides a structured activity, laid out with clear directions that instruct students to sit quietly and simply observe their surroundings using their senses. Spaces are provided for students to record their observations: what they see, hear, taste, smell, and feel. This sensory checklist is spread across the page, each sense highlighted by its own prompt line, encouraging detailed responses. This worksheet serves as a practical exercise in mindfulness, guiding students to connect with their environment and their internal states through focused sensory engagement.
