5 Powerful Mindfulness Practices to Stay Present Throughout the Day

Instead of multitasking, devote your attention to one task at a time. This can reduce stress, increase productivity, and make it easier to stay present.

Single-tasking

Regularly take a few minutes to focus solely on your breathing. Inhale deeply through your nose, hold for a few seconds, and then exhale slowly through your mouth. This practice can help to clear your mind and improve focus.
