Mindfulness can be practiced anytime and anywhere, and that’s the wonderful thing about this practice. Initially, you may want to practice mindfulness for beginners (whether you’re practicing it through meditation, body scanning, mindful yoga, or another technique) in a quiet, dark room in your home. Alternatively, you may prefer a mindfulness practice using specific equipment, like a yoga mat, scented candles, or a special cushion.
However, that perfect room or your favorite candle isn’t required to practice mindfulness, although they might help, especially for beginners. Instead, with time, you can practice mindfulness anywhere — standing at the bus stop, driving home in traffic, flying on an airplane, brushing your teeth, folding laundry, or even waiting in line at the grocery store.
Similarly, the time of day is irrelevant when it comes to mindfulness. You can choose a time that works for you, which can be the same every day or changed occasionally. The key to remember is that there is no “right” or “wrong” way to practice mindfulness. Simply find what works for you.
