The days are short. It's dark at 5:00 where I live. The holidays are coming. The tiny thing #5 is perfect for this time of year.
Mindfulness.
You might also call it focus.
The point is to bring yourself into the present moment. Pause. Rest your brain. Clear your thoughts. Tap into energy and awareness that is bigger than your day-to-day. From that place, you gain surprising insights, clarity, calm and sometimes even clear direction forward.
Add a tiny mindfulness practice into your day without any expectations. Here are some ways to do this:
- Start your day with a pause. Even if it's only 5 minutes.
- Stop a few times during your work day and simply sit quietly.
- Try out a meditation app. Deepak Chopra has a good one. I use 10% Happier. Others like Calm or Headspace.
- When you do things (cook dinner, write an email, talk to your parents on the phone), do only that thing. Give it your full attention.
This tiny thing is like a balm for your brain.
