From our sister blogger Janice Taylor over at Our Lady of Weight Loss<\/a>, this sweet idea for building what she calls “awareness muscle”:<\/p>\n

“A simple and fun way to start integrating “being present” into your daily routine is in the shower.<\/p>\n

The next time you are in the shower concentrate on feeling the hot
\nwater cascading over your head and body. Pay close attention to the
\naroma and sensation of the soap and shampoo on your skin. Take note of
\nyour surroundings. That’s right … what does your shower head look
\nlike, the curtain and the tiles.” <\/p>\n

A beautiful, meditative and aware way to start your day!  For more of Janice’s awareness muscle-builders, click here<\/a>.<\/p>\n
