Practicing mindfulness

Practicing mindfulness doesn't have to be a huge production or take time out of your busy day.

Here's one way that I try to do it...

When I take a shower, I try to keep my attention and focus on what it feels like. How the water feels hitting my skin. How the heat soothes my sore muscles. How the scent of my soap smells as I use it. How the wash cloth feels against my skin as it moves across the various body parts. I watch the bubbles as they form and slide around on my skin. I pay attention to the water as it trickles down the side of the shower curtain and walls. Sometimes I just stand perfectly still, with my head down and observe how the water comes off my hair in streams and rivers...

Basically, I enjoy the experience of taking a shower.
My mind is clear of what I'm making for dinner, the many chores I'm forgetting, the plans I need to complete.... My mind is on the moment
