Micro Meditations for Busy Days

Transforming Interruptions into Mindfulness

 
You have probably heard about or experienced some of the many benefits of meditation such as stress relief, better concentration, more self confidence, improved health, more happiness, more peace of mind, smoother relationships, increased creativity, stronger intuition and inner certainty, etc.

With the busy lives many of us lead these days, it can be hard to always find the time to do a traditional sitting meditation as much as we might want. 

You can use very short interruptions in your day as a sort of micro meditation.  For example, let's say you get put on hold for long time.  This can be very upsetting, especially if you are busy.  Next time this happens to you, try using that time to meditate while you wait.  Just take some slow deep breaths and let your mind focus only on your breathing.  Once you resume your call, you'll feel much better.

 After a while you can get good at finding little moments you can meditate such as standing in line at the bank, waiting for a doctor's appointment or waiting to make a purchase at a department store.  It doesn't matter whether the time window is a minute or two or much longer.  No matter how short or long the time you are stuck not being able to proceed with your work or chosen activity, you can use those times to get a little meditation in.
