Being more in the moment is a big challenge of modern life. We all want to be more mindful and stop running our lives on auto-pilot, and if you’re not sure where to start, these everyday situations may be perfect.
Morning Routine
As you cleanse your face and brush your teeth in the morning, focus on the tasks you’re doing at the moment. No matter how short your routine is, it’s enough to start practicing being in the moment.
Daily Walk
If you have a habit of going on daily walks, try noticing the things around you instead of zoning out with headphones. Notice the things you can see, hear, and smell, note how your heart rate changes as you go faster, how the weather changes, etc.
First Morning Coffee
Making and drinking your first cup of coffee in the morning can be a sacred ritual or something you do in a rush—it’s all about what you choose. Having coffee is much more than just drinking a cup of your favorite caffeinated drink. The ritual of making it involves irresistible smell, pouring coffee in your favorite cup, and enjoying its delicious taste.
