Today's meditation involved delving completely into an activity. My girlfriend likes to have her neck and back rubbed (who doesn't, i suppose) so i figured it would be a great opportunity to complete 5 minutes of meditation while doing so.
I normally look upon the task as something that i do because i'm nice, not something that is actually benefiting me. However, when i took the time to concentrate fully on what i was doing, it was no longer about her.
I'm beginning to realize that bringing bringing mindfulness to everyday activities is a great way to calm the mind.
