If mindfulness isn’t part of your daily practice, try it for at least five minutes a day for a week. Consider one of Thich Nhat Hanh’s guided breathing meditations, or follow instructions from the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley. Thich Nhat Hanh and the website follow similar steps to walk you through the process: finding a comfortable position, relaxing your body, observing your breathing, and focusing your attention. After one week, reflect on and consider sharing your experience with a friend, family member, or classmate. How do you feel? Do you experience greater clarity, comfort, or calm? Will you continue the practice?
