[07] You already have mindful moments in your life: walking, cooking, zoning out mid-meeting. Just notice your thoughts. Don’t grab them.

Now that’s it.

Oh, and low-hanging fruit? It's the heaviest.

[06] (If you’re immune to shiny objects, substitute the phone with snacks, binge-watching, or starting new side projects)

Why This Works

Meditating, at its core, is awareness practice. Grabbing your phone is chasing a thought. Mindfulness is noticing the thought—and letting it go.

[05]

◇ Notice the thought of grabbing your phone, but don’t act on it.
◇ Pay attention to what happens in your body when you don’t grab it.
◇ See what happens when a notification pops up—and you ignore it.

Your body’s reactions shows how thoughts translate into physical urges.

[04] Look into the middle distance. Pretend you’re unraveling the secrets of the universe—or perfecting your smolder. If the thought comes back..

You might even reach for your phone.

Don’t.

Then notice that thought.

Bonus: Level 2️⃣—Feel the Urge 👇

[03] Level 1️⃣: Notice the Thought

The fastest way to be mindful. It takes less time than it took to read this far:

◇ Set your phone down in front of you. Look somewhere else.
◇ When you think about reaching for your phone, notice that thought.
◇ Go back to not touching it.

That’s it...

[02] It’s low-hanging fruit for sounding smart about the mind, but it helps no one who’s never tried it before. How do you actually be mindful?

Does it require a lotus pose? A quiet room? Closed eyes?

I’m not asking you to be thoughtful—these are barriers to entry.

[01] You’ve seen it everywhere:

◇ How to overcome anxiety
◇ How to make decisions easier
◇ How to have a better golf swing

Mindfulness is pitched as the secret to emotional intelligence, making $10 million a month, and living the good life.

“Be mindful. Practice mindfulness. Sit down and chant.”
