If life feels a little stagnant, it’s time to switch it up. You don’t have to move across the
Awareness of the present moment. Awareness is choosing this moment right now. For example, right now, take a moment to be aware of your contact with the chair you are sitting, Or to notice the sound of air-conditioning. That’s it; it’s as simple — this is awareness. You can choose to do this as you go through your day today. Take three short breaks in your day to be AWARE of your experience.

This article is not — how to meditate — much better versions have previously appeared elsewhere. There are several methods to get started in mindfulness or meditation, and you might have to try several ways to find the one that resonates with you. It is also worth noting that a wide range of experiences is possible when engaging in the meditative process and that it may not be the right approach for everyone.
