+This is just one example; it can be applied to any trivial activity.  Note that you may not be able to do all of these steps at first - don't worry about that at all.  Just try to understand the general flow and see which parts start falling into place for you.  Also note that this exercise uses a [[Rooms and Boundaries#Mirrors|mirror]] but that isn't a requirement at all - see also for example [[Emptying the Dishwasher]].
+* Stand in front of the mirror with your hands at your sides
+* Become as mindful as you know how
+* Look at yourself in the mirror and allow your attention to The Self to evaporate, and sense that the Mirror Self is going to do something
+* Notice that the Mirror Self picks up the toothpaste
+* Notice that the micromovements and larger movements for this simple task didn't need any conscious direction at all, it just happened
+* The Mirror Self now lifts its other arm and unscrews the cap, placing it on the sink, and then picking up the toothbrush.
+* Appreciate that three steps in one larger task all took place as if they were puzzle pieces fitting together seemlessly
+* Continue on in this fashion as your teeth are being brushed
+* Do not try and tell your Mirror Self which tooth to brush next or how long to linger on each tooth, just allow that to happen
+* Do not try and tell your Mirror Self when the task is done, just let it end naturally
+* Once you are done, and the toothbrush and toothpaste are back in their places, mentally review the steps listed in The Pattern above and appreciate what just happened
