28-Day Practice
Finding Harmony with our Daily Lives
Day 3: Sit and Breathe
Practice
Sit and breathe for 3-5 minutes, or longer if possible and accessible. Feel free to include the practice from Day 1​​. You can close your eyes or keep them open. If you keep them open, make sure to look down and in front of you. You can practice it a few times a day if possible.
​
If you're new or haven't practiced sitting still, you likely feel restless, have racing thoughts, or want to get up and continue with whatever you were doing. Do your best to remain still and focus on your breath. The more you practice, the easier it becomes.
​
Boredom is the most challenging thing for our brains because "it is doing nothing." But you'll realize the more you sit in stillness, the more focused and creative you become, and notice that you are actually doing a lot and that can keep your mind occupied.
