d
Practice: Learn a practice where you follow a simple object (like your breath). The repeated returning to a focal point trains your attention.

Benefit: Focus. Your attention wavers less and you're not as easily pulled away by external distractions or internal chatter.

d
Practice: Let others talk about themselves. Listen and consider what might cause them pain.

Benefit: Not as judgemental. You take more time to explore what might be causing other people pain and problems instead of assuming the worst.

d
Practice: Take a few minutes and let your attention scan your whole body from toe to head. Go breathe fresh air.

Benefit: Body awareness. You more often notice how you actually feel in your body and when it needs care.

d
Practice: Sit quietly doing nothing for five minutes. Then as you contemplate the problem, imagine you're seeing it for the first time.

Benefit: Fresh eyes. Increased ability to let go of assumptions, expectations, and storylines and see things anew.

d
Practice: Listen fully to a longer piece of music without doing anything else at all. This helps you appreciate rhythm, rather than trying to force things.

Benefit: Patience. You let things develop in their own time rather than always trying to push them.
