12 Ways to Sneak a Little Mindfulness Into Your Daily Routine

As cliche as it sounds, it's a way to freshen your mind and renew your awareness of your surroundings.

You may take a walk intentionally after work, or just enjoy the few blocks you pass by from your home to the bus station.

Be aware of the sensation of standing before you start walking. Then notice how the ground feet under your feet in every step you take. Feel how your clothes move on your body. Pay attention to the architecture of the building and the plants you passed by.

If your mind starts to wander again, go back into your mindfulness practice by noticing how your arms swing. You don't have to analyze any of this; just notice and be aware.
