Summary

A growing body of research is showing that mindfulness can reduce stress, improve physical health, and improve one's overall quality of life.

Jan Chozen Bays, MD - physician and Zen teacher - has developed a series of simple practices to help us cultivate mindfulness as we go about our ordinary, daily lives. Exercises include: taking three deep breaths before answering the phone, noticing and adjusting your posture throughout the day, eating mindfully, and leaving no trace of yourself after using the kitchen or bathroom. Each exercise is presented with tips on how to remind yourself and a short life lesson connected with it.

This book has given me many exercises that contributes to greater mindfulness.
Something such as taking a deep breath before you respond to anything, can have physiological and mental effects on yourself and your environment.
Although I made notes as I read this book, once I have ascertained those new habits, re-reading it again is essential as I will be in a different place.
A must read for anyone who wants to enhance their personal equanimity, empathy for others, a more peaceful, joyous and happy life.

I've read many different books about meditating or being mindful but this one was the first one that actually kept me focused on it and I have a feeling I will be coming back to it to go over the exercise proposed in there as they are very practical.
