When you wake up tomorrow, give yourself one minute before the day gets hold of you. You can start now.
Notice your breathing. You don’t need to change it. Just notice the air coming in, and going out.
At some point, your mind will take you somewhere else. You might think about what you need to do today. That’s okay. The moment you notice you’ve wandered is the moment you’re practising.
Come back to the next breath.
That’s it. One minute. Try it again tomorrow.
