Mindfulness is difficult to practice consistently when our lives are busy, but it is simply a case of remembering. Try doing some of these simple activities each day, even for 30 seconds, and see what happens. Please let me know what you find.
1) Each time you walk through a doorway, take a moment to notice a breath or two as you listen and look around.
2) Notice the feel of your feet against the floor as you read this.
3) Take a minute to observe your thoughts carefully. Watch them closely and if you get lost, come back to the process of observing.
4) Breathe mindfully while your computer is starting up and shutting down.
5) Each time you get in the car or onto the train or bus, stop for a few seconds, breathe mindfully and take in your surroundings.
Enjoy your practice,
Oli
Hello Oli,
Thanks for these postings. It occurred to me that these opportunities for mindfulness task place in places of threshold and liminality. I am fascinated by both in our lives and the fact of being mindful within them is brilliant.
Hope you are well
Best wishes
