Today's Mindfulness Activity

I am tired. I have been getting up around 5 and getting to the gym by 6:15. Then I work, go to class, come home and either think about studying or I actually do study. By 8pm I am ready to bond with my bed but never seem to enjoy the bonding till about 10pm.

So, I am sitting in my office feeling tired. I decide I need to do a mindful activity and just slow down the pace of things for a minute. What better way to do that then by enjoying a fresh Lebekuchen that my parents recently brought back from Germany.

So, here I sit with my eyes closed and enjoy the few seconds it takes me to eat my Lebekuchen wishing that I could spend my time strolling along enjoying the booths at a Weihnachtsmarkt.

Okay...back to work!
