12 Ways to Sneak a Little Mindfulness Into Your Daily Routine

You're so used to brushing your teeth multiple times a day (we hope) that your mind immediately goes on autopilot even before you pick up your toothbrush. Because it's so mundane, it will feel like there are more important things to think about like your scheduled meeting at 10 AM or the documents you've got to process in the afternoon. Those are the perfect ingredients to stress you out so early!

Why don't you let your mind process how cold the tiles are against your feet? Take a moment to examine the color and taste of your toothpaste. Be mindful of how you brush your teeth and the sound it makes. Focus on cleaning every tooth and gum.

Bonus: You won't just feel calmer — your dentist will also be happy on your next appointment!
