Albert Einstein said he did his best thinking while he was shaving. I’d argue that what he was doing in that moment wasn’t just removing the hairs from his face. With his utter absorption on what his hands were doing, Einstein was engaged in a mind-body practice.

You can transform a shave, shampoo, shower, or bath in to a mindfulness practice by again using your senses as a way to focus your attention on what you’re doing, not what you’re thinking. This shift in focus helps your mind get quiet so you can hear what your inner wisdom is whispering to you.
