Even with a busy schedule there are always short periods of time every day when you can re-establish mindfulness. The best periods are those in which your activity does not require you to talk to anyone or think about anything.

Here are a few examples:
while brushing your teeth,
while taking a shower,
while using the toilet,
while walking up and down stairs,
while waiting for a bus or train,
while waiting for a lift or standing in a lift,
while standing in a queue.

When your phone rings or you hear the sound of a message received, try not to answer immediately.

First take three slow breaths.
