Sometimes we get so caught up in the day or tasks to do that we feel like we’re in a fog! Try this technique to help slow down, re-connect, and re-group: Explain a task (and then participate in it):

1- Take any daily task or chore, such as making coffee, sweeping a room, or watering plants, and break it down in your mind into its component steps.

2- Imagine that you would have to explain how to do this to a child and go into minute detail.

3- Now, actually engage in the task or chore, noticing each step and participating in it mindfully.
