Do a meditation exercise each day of the challenge. You can do a simple, short (maybe 3 minutes) meditation or you can progress to longer, more focused meditations of a variety of types. You can find meditation exercises to do at your desk, standing, seated or lying on the floor and even walking. For some basic information about meditation and some resources including videos and podcasts which will lead you through a meditation exercise, visit this page often for updates.
Our busy lives and the common practice of multitasking can cause to lose the ability narrowly focus or hold focus over time.
