TOO BUSY TO MEDITATE?

Mediation

Try these three easy mindfulness exercises that fit seamlessly into a hectic day.

At work
Pause between your tasks, taking 15 seconds to a couple of minutes to sit comfortably, breather deeply and observe how your body feels. It’s a simple way to refresh your mind.

At home
Pay attention as you brush your teeth or take a shower. Focus on the feeling of brushing each tooth or the sensation of the warm water on your skin, rather than simply going through the same old motions.

Out and about
Walk with purpose and attention, noticing the environment around you, the fall of your feet on the ground and your thoughts as you stride.
