“Every action you take today, no matter how little … give it weight. Put some space around it. Start it intentionally, with the intention to be mindful, to inhabit that action fully, to notice with all your senses the entire moment. When the action is done, don’t just rush to the next one, but take half a second to appreciate what you just experienced. Then move to the next with equal weight and space. If you don’t start treating this next action like it’s just as important as what’s coming later, you might never.” – Leo Babauta, on the ZenHabits blog

- See how natural sunlight enhances your mood
- Enjoy a change of environment – it’s good to switch off
- Savour each different taste as you eat your lunch
