10 Great Everyday Opportunities to Do Mini-Meditations

Last September I wrote an article for Zen Habits called How to Use Mini-Meditations to Relax and Find Focus. In it, I describe a very simple meditation technique that takes less than a minute to do and yet has a wonderful affect on your mind and well-being.

I find it helpful to have specific times to practice this simple technique. Here’s a list of 10 great opportunities that pop up during our busy days. Enjoy!

  1. Just after turning off the shower, before stepping out.
  2. Just before starting the car.
  3. Just after parking the car and turning off the engine.
  4. While waiting for your computer to boot.
  5. While washing your hands.
  6. While washing the dishes.
  7. Waiting for a red light to change. (Keep your eyes open!)
  8. Just after waking up.
  9. Just before getting into bed.
  10. While waiting for your tea to steep.
