Return to the Breath

Find a quiet space to sit for five minutes.  Get into a comfortable position and bring your awareness to your breath.  No need to breathe in any particular way. All you have to do is notice what it's like to be breathing.  When a thought arises, simply acknowledge that you are having a thought and bring your awareness back to your breath.  Sometimes it helps to label the thought before you return to the breath.  If you find yourself thinking of lunch, for example, you can label the thought "lunch." Today, give yourself the gift of five minutes and bring your attention to your breath.
