You know what I love about four-year-olds? The way some excitedly wave at every stranger they come across, like they’re SO happy to see you.

“1. Mind your feet while you’re grocery shopping. (my yoga teacher)
2. Mind your chair while you’re typing.
3. When going through a door, think ‘I am I’ (Fourth Way exercise)
4. When putting on your shoes, try and put on the one you usually put on second first. (also Fourth Way, Ravi Ravindra)
5. Drink your tea without sugar if you’re used to sugar in your tea. If you’re used to no sugar, just once put in sugar. Works with coffee too obviously. The point is, like the previous one, to become aware of patterns and how hard it is to break them (Jiddu Krishnamurti). The point is NOT to change the pattern. A new pattern is just as much a pattern as the old one. Just create a bit more flexibility.
6. When you have to wait for something (grocery line, pc starting up etc.) breath consciously.
7 Cleaning the house: be aware of every step of cleaning.
8. Keep a diary of your thoughts and feelings. The goal isn’t to create literature, but to observe. So don’t mind repetition.
9. Notice… take a deep breath; notice five things you can see. notice five things you can hear; notice five things you can feel (shoes, pants, hair against forehead etc.)
10. When you’re annoyed at waiting for a stopping sign, or anything else for that matter, just SMILE (Thich Nhat Hanh, Zen Buddhism)”
