Make Time Work For You

✦ Love Your Morning Shower Focusing on the sensation of the water on your skin is a simple way to practise mindfulness without setting any special time aside.

✦ Use The Stairs Studies show that climbing the stairs is as good as a game of squash for reducing the inflammation that causes age-related diseases such as diabetes, heart disease, osteoporosis and dementia.

✦ Stand And Deliver Sitting is now said to be the new smoking, because inactive muscles produce inflammatory hormones that endanger your health. Aim to stand up every time you make a phone call.

✦ Mindful Mouthfuls Focusing on the taste, texture and appearance of your food will distract you from the hurly-burly of your usual busy thought processes.
