With the pace of life these days we’ve been trained to expect everything to happen fast.
What do you do when your computer takes too long to boot up? Or when you’re on a website and it’s clocking?
These can be opportunities to pause. “Do” nothing. Try being.
Pay attention to your breathing. Follow the air moving in and out.
You may notice a thought like, “this stupid computer”. Or a feeling like frustration.
Let it go. Breathe in. Breathe out.
It is possible to retrain your mind. Booting or clocking can be your cue to bring your awareness to your breathing.
This is mindfulness meditation.
