You cannot use "just doing it" to command someone, becauseit's a bit of a rare occurrence. On the other hand, "just do it" makes you sound impatient.

Example of "just do it":

A: "Just do it, it's not that hard."

B: "Are you crazy? I can't mow the lawn in 5 minutes."

Here, speaker A is impatient with speaker B. Speaker A has told speaker B to mow the lawn, but he just isn't doing it.

@Zhongincanada I saw that phrase in some Movies in netflix.
Can you explain to me why they use Ving in this phrase:
Just bringing your attention to your mind,and noticing how your body feels
