TIM'S TIPS:
Make this a practice: A way to deepen our experience of everyday life is to practice the following exercise to become more aware.

See if you are experiencing any discomfort, pain or a change in your breath. When you can, take a deep breath, relax your body where it has become tense and see how this changes the situation or effects how you feel about it. The more you practice the more you will notice.
