Everyday Mindfulness

When I was a young man in my 20s, I was always on the go and could never sit still very long. I had big plans and lots of energy to accomplish them. I remember always feeling that there was so much to do and so little time to do it in. I think I spent about half of my time thinking about what I needed to do and most of the other half actually doing it. I don't think I spent more than 10 percent of my time actually being in the present moment. My thoughts were always drifting off into the past ("Why did this or that have to happen?" or "I wish I had done this or that differently") or the future ("I think I'll try this tomorrow" or "I better get ready for that next month"). I got a lot accomplished, advanced in my education and career, and made some money, but never seemed to be very happy or aware of the present moment, content to just be myself. I was always in the process of becoming someone, never being myself. If that sounds familiar then this book is for you. It will show you how to live in the present moment by making mindfulness part of your everyday living. Think what your life could be like if you did everything more mindfully without distractions. From washing your car to making love to your spouse, you would immerse yourself in the act with all five of your senses. My hope is to demystify mindfulness and help you make it your standard operating procedure whether at work or play.
Mindfully yours,
