Simple Tip to Bring Mindfulness into Everyday Life 
An easy way to remember how to be mindful in the course of a busy day or when you are overwhelmed, pre-occupied, worried, angry, or uncomfortable is to STOP:

• S – Stop. Simply pause from what you are doing.
• T – Take a few slow, deep breaths with awareness, noticing the sensations of the inhale and exhale.
• O – Observe and curiously notice your thoughts, feelings, emotions and bodily sensations.
• P – Proceed with whatever you were doing, with awareness and kindness.
