Choosing a Moment

In the coming day choose an event that is unfolding in your life. It can be a hike, a visit from a friend, a trip to the grocery, a visit to a gallery, time spent in your garden, singing in a choir, babysitting, or perhaps something as simple as doing the dishes!  Choose this experience because you want to embrace it and experiment with being mindful.  As you go through this event, ask yourself to begin by taking a few slow, deep breaths. Clearing your mind. To prepare to write about this later, you can take notes—if you want. Or simply pay close attention to what you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. What feelings are evoked? What do you experience? Try to enjoy the experience and see what you notice that you have never noticed before.

Reflection

Afterwards take time to write up this event. What sensory input stood out?  What were you conscious of that you often ignore? How did you feel? Did you experience anything new? Share an insight or two.
