Being Mindful of the world around you.
Meditation has been around as an endeavor for years.
My daughter wrote a wonderful post on her blog about her journey. A great read.

I don't meditate per se.
I have activities that have meditative qualities.
For example, certain knitting patterns means counting the stitches in my head as I go. The counting and knitting are calming and reflective. I concentrate on the stitches.
When I exercise, I count the number of times I do the exercise. For my weight routine, the number is 25.
I find this to be calming and relaxing. I do not think about anything. I am not trying to solve a problem. Just being in the moment with the activity. Clears my mind. Gets rid of negative thinking.
I tend to like an activity. It is just me.
However, walking is a good reflective exercise for me. So what did I do. I bought myself a birthday present of hiking boots. Not for now but the Spring. Perhaps putting hiking in my life will be a help too.
