Tips for Daily Mindfulness Practice
General Guidelines
Start Small: Regular, short periods of mindfulness are often more effective than occasional long sessions. Even one minute can be beneficial.
Integrate into Daily Life: Turn routine activities like showering, washing dishes, or driving into mindful moments by focusing your full attention on the sensations involved.
Be Non-Judgmental: When your mind inevitably wanders, gently guide your attention back to your focus point (breath, sensation, etc.) without criticism.
