Start
- Find a quiet place where you can sit up straight and comfortably, such as the edge of your bed, the floor, or a chair.

Mindful meditation to focus on the good
We spend much of our waking hours juggling the many tasks needed to cross off our to-do lists. We live our days on autopilot, focusing on what’s next rather than reflecting on everything that went well. We take pride in the results of our projects and how much we have achieved, not how well we are doing what we are currently doing.
The next time you’re faced with a never-ending day of to-dos, try to recognize the feeling of being overwhelmed. Next, break down your priorities into smaller chunks or tackle them one day at a time. Congratulate yourself on what you are doing well with the help of this meditation.
