meditate, you are strengthening your mindful muscle. It’s a simple practice: •Sit in a comfortable position, ideally in a quiet space. •Breathe deeply for a few breaths, in and out through your nose. •Allow your breath to settle back into its natural rhythm and focus on only the sensations of breathing, noticing the rise and fall of your abdomen with each breath; if thoughts arise, notice them, but then direct your focus back to the rhythm and sensation of your breath. •Set a timer so you don’t have to think about time. Start with just 1 minute and gradually increase the duration.
