Mindfulness tips

Here are a couple of ideas I found in Zen Living by Gary McClain and Eve Adamson:

Even if you don't have time for a block of meditation, you can squeeze mindfulness into your day on a regular basis. For one morning or afternoon, make a point to pause and really notice the world around you and inside you for one minute on the hour, every hour.
And here's the other tip:

Looking for more ways to wake yourself up? Work your five senses in new ways. Eat something with a strong, sour, pungent, or spicy taste. Smell all the spices in your cupboard, one at a time. Visit a toy store and look through a kaleidoscope. Change your radio station to a new one and really listen to the next three songs. Touch the underside of every piece of furniture in your house.
