Simple breaths throughout your day can help you maintain a steady, alert and mindful state.
While attending Wisdom2.0 where we explored the nexus of wisdom and technology, I learned that something as simple as taking a mindful deep breath is considered a form of meditation. I had never thought of it like that before, but sometimes taking a moment to breath deeply is all you need to shift into a more mindful, alert, ‘ready’ state.
Jan Stewart made the observation that I actually take a breath each time I’m waiting for something to load on my iPhone, which happened a lot while hunting for patches of open wifi across San Francisco! I have noticed that I do the same when I am waiting for almost anything, whether that is for a web connection or standing in line at a cafe.
Be aware and notice that this mindful opportunity happens many times each day!
Take a breath next time you find yourself waiting.
