The idea here is to just practice basic [[Attention]] and [[Presence]] during something you do every day. | |||
* Pick up your toothbrush and squeeze a strip of toothpaste onto it. | |||
* Turn on the tap and wet the brush, your daily dental hygiene routine is now a mindfulness exercise. | |||
* As you start brushing, pay attention to where your thoughts wander off. | |||
* Are you thinking about your meetings? Your grocery list? Or maybe an argument from last night? | |||
* Each time you catch your mind straying, gently guide it back to the sensation of brushing. | |||
* Focus on the taste of the toothpaste, the feel of the bristles against your teeth and gums, the sound of brushing. | |||
* Once you're done brushing, rinse your mouth and your brush. | |||
* Clean up your space, put everything back where it belongs, and stand still for a moment, taking in the quiet. | |||
* Use this small window of time twice a day to practice focusing and reigning in your wandering mind. | |||
