How it works: What many people don't realize is that you don't have to set aside special time to meditate -- you can work meditative thinking into everyday activities.
"Instead of feeling guilty for not being able to sit around like a monk all day, realize that we live in a very different world and need to get it in when we can," says meditation master, acupuncturist and herbalist Pedram Shojai.
This means at red lights, in line at Starbucks, waiting on hold, at the water cooler at work -- Shojai says that whenever we get a free minute, a few quiet breaths down to your lower abdomen can make a real impact on our mental calm. "You don't need to be in lotus posture to anchor the breath and calm the mind," he says. "Just seize the opportunity and hack your way into a quick meditation."
