When we perform an act mindfully--be it meditating, vacuuming or playing Scrabble
with a child--we nourish ourselves, as well. Rather than scattering our concentration
on a dozen things at once, we focus. We slow down. We give ourselves time to calm
down from the inside out and the luxury of saying: Nothing is more important right
now than this moment, this deed. We may not get as much done by day's end, but
we can feel more peaceful and satisfied with the work itself. That's a good way
to think of it: Mindfulness is quality time for the soul.
