Or engaging in a favorite hobby

When I focus on "art - in" I become aware of the Infinite artist within and allow that idea to gently move deep into my subconscious, including your own. Another mini awareness activity is contemplating the body. When you take a shower, notice the dynamics of your body. It's such a magnificent vessel that we get to travel through life in. Our organs are precisely tuned to each other - running in sync. Our skeletal and muscular systems allow us to move around and function in our world. As you wash each part of your body, notice the intricacies of how your fingers grasp the soap or shampoo bottle. Feel your fingers run through your hair, working the shampoo into lather. Notice how easily you're able to move your arms and legs, twist your spine, bend and turn in order to bathe your magnificent vessel. During your awareness, take a moment to pause and give thanks for your body and your health. Perhaps there's a part of your body that's not functioning as well as you'd like. Maybe showering is difficult. You are still whole and complete. Contemplate the health you have and give thanks for all that functions well. Know that as you connect on a deeper level, you are not only nurturing your spirit and soul, your body is also benefiting. Bring awareness to the perfection in every atom, regardless of appearances. Love your body. Love yourself. Eating is a wonderful time to experience mini meditations. By creating awareness around our meals, we stimulate better digestion, assimilation, and elimination. The health benefits of awareness as we're eating are numerous - including the time to enjoy the experience. Do you remember your last meal? When you eat, do you relax and enjoy your food or rush to finish so you can get to your next activity? Perhaps you're somewhere in see this between. Do you give thanks before each meal, or perhaps after, and say a blessing to those who have contributed to bringing the food to your table? Have you thought about where your food comes from, who's been part of the preparation, and how the food serves your body and your soul? The next time you sit down to eat, pause to give thanks. In the thanksgiving, invite all your senses to the experience. First, look at your plate. See the energy of life itself before you. What are the colors, shapes, and sizes of the food you're about to consume? Smell your food.
