How To Become More Mindful   Be in the moment with one task. Instead of moving from one task to another, checking your email, checking your phone, the television is on, and dividing your attention in five different directions - focus on one thing at a time. The task you are working on gets 100 % of your attention. You are focusing on the present moment.   Being mindful is observing your thoughts without judgment. When things are good or bad, taking a moment and becoming aware of the thoughts. Try to separate the emotional attachment to the thought.   A couple ways to practice being more mindful:   When walking, think only about walking. Feel one foot move and then the other. Feel the surface you are walking on. Notice how your body feels to be moving.   Notice your breath in different situations throughout the day, especially when something feels stressful or intense. Listen and feel your breath, noticing, not trying to change anything.   Bring attention to physical sensations. N
