Today's practice
PPresent Moment
Begin with one calm step today
One quote, one short practice, one quieter mind.
"Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment."
BuddhaPractice preview
“Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment.”
Practice for today: Set a reminder to check in with the present moment three times today.
Take one quiet minute with the quote, then carry the prompt into the next part of your day.
