Hi friends,

Mindfulness is a constant practice. Here are a few reminders... little ways to be more mindful throughout the day.

In the routine of day-to-day life, from waking to work to home life, it's all too easy to forsake the present moment for the future and its to-do lists. Enter mindfulness, a practice that is useful in any and every environment. Mindfulness is the practice of developing presence in all aspects of our lives, whether we're working, commuting, gardening, cleaning or having dinner with our families. The goal and end result of mindfulness is to be in a constant state of peaceful presence.

Try to practice mindfulness today in the following ways:

• When you get an email, don't open it right away. Pause first to remember that nothing must happen instantly, as technology sometimes demands.
• During your commute, instead of zoning out, focus on breathing equally.
• Rather than eating in front of the computer or on the go, sit down with each meal and give it your full attention, offering up gratitude for the energy and nutrition it provides.

Be quirky, creative, spontaneous and authentic in your celebration of mindfulness.

The Well Wisdom: Mindfulness can be practiced anywhere—lying on your bed, sitting in a doctor’s office or on a park bench or standing in line. Just rest your attention on the sensation of your breath entering and leaving your body. Breath is an anchor for mindfulness because it is always in the present moment.
