This might be a specific place in the body, or just open awareness of our whole experience. We continue until we notice that the mind has wandered, as it will inevitably do. As soon as we become aware that our attention is elsewhere, we gently guide it back to whatever we had\u00a0chosen to focus on\u00a0previously.<\/p>\n<p>So if there doesn\u2019t seem to be enough time to meditate daily, or even if\u00a0we do meditate regularly, there are still many opportunities to practice mindfulness in our lives every day.\u00a0As with deciding to meditate for longer periods of time, it can be helpful to set an intention for capturing some of these mindful moments throughout the day.\u00a0 If you\u2019re not doing this yet, what is an experience that you\u2019d like to\u00a0start noticing\u00a0more? \u00a0There&#8217;s no better time to start than the present moment.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I was giving a talk on mindfulness recently and someone in the audience noted they had tried to meditate for 10 minutes and when they finished, their email inbox had filled up with work messages they had to attend to.\u00a0 They implied this made it seem that the time they had spent meditating had a higher cost than benefit.
