Meditation can be anything, so long as it’s the only thing

Meditation can be just about anything, so long as it's the only thing.

What do I mean by that?

• Meditation can be walking, so long as when you're walking, you're walking, and nothing else.

• Meditation can be chopping carrots, so long as when you're doing that, you're just chopping the carrots.

• Meditation can be staring at the ocean. So long as when you're staring at the ocean, you're just staring at the ocean.

So try it. See if you can weave meditation throughout the day, even if it's just for little moments. You know, maybe while you're cooking dinner tonight with your partner, the first part of the preparation is just meditative. And then you can break into conversation.

That's what practice is. It's moments of focusing on just one thing.
