• To incorporate mindfulness into daily life, try
  the following
• Create a morning routine. Instead of immediately
  checking email or social media, begin the day
  with a few gentle stretches, or perhaps a quiet
  cup of coffee or tea. Close your eyes and pay
  attention to the sounds and smells around you.
• Practice mindful eating. When you eat, dont
  multi-task by reading or watching TV. Focus on
  each bite, and savor each individual flavor.
  Notice if you reach for food from boredom rather
  than actual hunger.

3. Engage in mindful driving. While traffic and
fellow drivers can trigger stress and anger,
driving also provides the perfect opportunity to
cultivate mindfulness. Take slow, deep breaths
when you feel triggered. Scan your body for
tension and focus your awareness on relaxing
those areas.
