30 Days of Mindfulness · Day 1 of 30

Three minutes is the whole task

Listen: English اردو · Uzma اردو · Asad

Mindfulness is paying attention to what is happening now, on purpose, without immediately grading it as good or bad. That is the entire definition. There is nothing mystical required and you do not have to sit on the floor.

Today is three minutes. Not ten - three. The commonest way this fails is starting with twenty minutes on a motivated evening and nothing by Thursday.

Try this · 3 minutes

Three minutes of breath

  1. Sit however you are sitting now. Nothing to arrange.
  2. Find where you feel the breath most clearly - nose, chest or stomach. Pick one.
  3. Rest your attention there for three minutes.
  4. When you notice you have wandered, come back. That is not a failure, that is the exercise.
Your notes — only you see these

Where did you feel the breath most clearly?

What did your mind go to first?
