You can be mindful on daily basis by paying attention to current tasks, but mindfulness is usually associated with doing so with a particular attitude of curiosity, openness and acceptance. That way you can be open to your actual experience, free of presumptions and without being distracted by your reactions to it.

Mindfulness is at its peak when you’re focusing your mind entirely on it, which is known as meditation or 'falling awake' as a contrast to falling asleep.

The movement of breath into and out of the body is a very popular initial focus of attention in mindful meditation as it is always present and involves just enough bodily movement to keep one interested.

Some people prefer a repeated silent phrase – called a mantra – or a set of rhythmic, simple movements, or enjoy being guided through a meditation by verbal instructions and reminders from a teacher or an audio track. Many guided meditations are available online and there are also a number of apps that are readily available.
