Things to do besides meditate

For some of us who find sitting and meditating difficult, there are ways to be mindful that also involve some movement.The activities below give you the choice to be present without the pressure to do or be that you can sometimes feel in meditation:

- Walking and observing what you see in front of and around you

- Coloring

- Doing simple, repetitive housework like the dishes, ironing or vacuuming

- Gardening

- Picking up an small item and observing and feeling as much as you can about it

- Taking a moment to stretch and observe what feels good and what doesn’t

- Eating a meal without your phone and computer and observing what’s going on with all your senses

These are just a small list of activities. What they all involve is being present and mindful of what’s in front of you. It’s ok if you mind wanders. It’s ok if it doesn’t take a long time. All of it is up to you.
