Welcome to your Daily Mindfulness.

Today we're going to be exploring a way to

declutter your mind and deepen your focus.

And we can do this through a really simple

and yet powerful practice, the practice of

narrowing our attention down to focus on

just one thing at a time, the thing that's

happening in the present moment.

Now, this sounds like a

fairly simple thing to do.

Just focus on one thing at a time.

But we live in a world today where that

kind of simplicity and attentiveness is

becoming more and more rare and difficult.

In our high speed, high demand world,

many of us have never ending to do lists,

electronic devices that are constantly

beeping at us, trying to demand our

attention and really full calendars that

give us almost no time and space to stop

and catch our breath.

And when we're constantly pulled around

by all those demands and rushing around

trying to get it all done, we often end up

feeling scattered, depleted, and stressed.

If we want to bring more calm, clarity and

happiness into our lives, the best place

to start is within, because when the

mind is racing cluttered and frantic, we

inevitably become scattered and stressed.

But when the mind is calm, clear and

happy, we feel at home within ourselves

through mindfulness.

We practice cultivating these qualities by

focusing on just one thing at a time and

one moment at a time, and then we let

that practice flow out into our lives.

Now it's important to note that this focus

on one thing at a time doesn't mean that

you get things done any slower.

On the contrary, research shows we're more

productive and we make less mistakes when

we stop multitasking and rushing

and just do one thing at a time.

Now it also shows that we enjoy our doing

so much more when we slow down and focus

and hey, that matters because

life isn't a to-do list.

It's meant to be enjoyed.

So in today's meditation, we're going to

explore how to declutter your mind and

cultivate deeper focus, not just in

your meditation, but in daily life too.
