As you’re practicing mindful awareness in your own daily activities, keep the following principles in mind: 1 Focus your attention on your sensory experiences (sights, sounds, etc.) as well as your thoughts, feelings, and bodily sensations. 2 Open to what is happening in the moment, allowing your experience to be as it is rather than resisting. 3 Bring a “beginner’s mind” to the activity, as though it’s the first time you’ve ever done or witnessed it. Let go of preconceived expectations of how it will be.
