🌿 DBT Mindful Minute: Observe

Take one minute to slow down and simply notice what’s happening right now.
In this brief guided meditation, we’ll practice the DBT Observe skill-paying attention to your thoughts, emotions, and physical sensations, without judging them or trying to change them.
You don’t have to fix anything.
You don’t have to figure anything out.
Just notice. Just observe. Just be present.
Take a minute for yourself today.

DBT Insight: What if we focused more on reinforcing the behaviors we want to see, rather than punishing the ones we don’t?

From a DBT perspective, positive reinforcement means noticing and rewarding effective behaviors so they’re more likely to happen again. Whether it’s a teen using a coping skill, communicating appropriately, or making a healthy choice, recognizing that effort can be far more powerful than simply punishing mistakes.

Punishment may stop a behavior temporarily, but reinforcement helps teach and strengthen the behavior we actually want, and is more effective in the long run.
