- Before you get out of bed in the morning, spend a couple of minutes aligning your attention to your heart. Reading the consideration below can assist you in this.
- Take some of the considerations you have printed out and pin them up. Some great places are the mirror in your bedroom, the kitchen fridge, on the wall in your work space, or as desktop wallpaper on your computer.
- When you are driving, each time you notice your attention wandering off, gently bring it back to this moment. As you do this, it can be helpful to turn the radio off and stay out of the affairs of the world.
- Just before you eat, take a minute or two to settle into your chair, bring your attention back and just enjoy your meal. This will also help you to be present enough to smell and taste your food much more easily and you will be less likely to overeat.
- Eating at the table rather than in front of the TV will help you to be more aware of where your attention is. Stopping after your meal for a minute or two before getting on with your daily activities is also helpful.
- When you are watching the TV make sure that you are seeing the whole of the screen, rather than getting sucked into the program. As you find yourself being sucked in, simply see the whole screen again.
In fact, you can take any chance where you notice that your attention is with the mind, and away from this
moment, to gently bring your attention back to where you are and feel the richness that is already right here.
