Core Mindfulness ONE MINDFULNESS
One Mindfulness (OM)—Focus on one activity that is happening right now
OM is NOT:
 doing many things at one time—OM is not doing your homework & eating a sandwich while watching TV & texting your friend
 zoning out
 doing something on autopilot or by habit
 thinking about the past or future
What distracts you? Be aware of this list!
  
Tips for using OM:
1. Focus on the 1 thing happening right now.
2. Distractions will happen. Pay attention to them.
3. Re-focus your concentration.
4. Repeat steps 2 & 3.
