Set aside some time
When you try mindfulness for the first time it can be helpful to pick a day when you have a bit of time to spare and aren’t very busy or in a hurry.
If you don’t have much time then consistent short periods of mindfulness can be better than occasional long ones. It can help to commit to a regular time every day to practice.
If you struggle to find the time, it might suit you to focus on finding ways of being mindful in your daily life. You could decide on one or two routine activities which you will try to do mindfully each day. There are also a number of apps you can download on to your phone, such as the Headspace app, that teaches you mindfulness gradually through guided sessions.
