Mindfulness Exercise
Do this before sitting down.
Notice which chairs you normally sit on at home, in a café or bar or at work (during meetings, for example). Make a deliberate choice to try another chair, or change the position of the chair you use. We are creatures of habit. There is nothing wrong with this, but it can feed a sense of "taking things for granted" that allows the automatic pilot to thrive. You can easily stop noticing the sights, sounds, smells of everything around you, and even the feel of a chair supporting you can become over-familiar. Notice how your perspective can change just by changing chairs.
