One of my favorite things to do is to take a super quick pause in the middle of my busy day. Here is how it works. You could be writing an email, in the middle of a conversation, watching a movie or in the traffic. You can do it without anybody around you noticing. You just pause, literally for a second, and just acknowledge your existence. There are no rules. You can quietly connect with your breath, be aware of the surrounding, or simply tell yourself, ‘I exist.’ This pause gives me a instantaneous orientation, that in the vast scheme of the universe, I exist at this time and place. It anchors me to the present. And for some reason, it fills me up with joy in good times and, in bad times it makes me draw power from within. I can this my one second meditation.
