Leaves on a stream is a powerful mindfulness technique used in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help you cope with difficult thoughts and feelings.
It’s based on a practice called cognitive defusion, which helps create distance between you and your thoughts, as a way to reduce the power they have over us.
In today’s exercise, you’ll visualise a gentle stream. As thoughts arise, simply notice them, place each one on a leaf, and watch as it floats away. No need to control or change them, just let them come and go.
This is a moment to practice acceptance, create space, and gently cope with what’s on your mind.
