One Minute

It can be challenging to commit to sitting quietly and focusing on your breath when you know you have so many other things that need to get done.  Today, I invite you to start by committing to sit for just one minute. You can set a timer if you'd like.

In that one, single, minute see if you can bring your awareness to your breath. See if you can notice when a thought shows up and gently redirect your attention back to your breath.  Sometimes a single minute can turn into a 20 minute sit.  Other times, it is helpful to know that you can stop for a single minute at any point throughout your day.  Explore what it's like to give yourself that one minute.
