The Accidental Meditation

Once in a while, we need to remove ourselves from distractions and noises in the world. The more we do it, the more we can focus on ourselves. Many influential leaders practice meditation daily for that purpose and more.

Here are some accidental meditations that we haven’t notice. Now that we know, we can put more in practice.

Listen to classical music while at the wheel.
I’m at the wheel for a good twenty minutes. I get too excited if the upbeat music is on. I might get too creative if podcast is on. Upbeat music gives me more ideas and daydreams. But the mind is not at peace. When the music is tune to classical my mind is at ease. Let it wonders quietly, note by note.

Sit quietly for half an hour.
You can call this the sitting meditation. I sit at a quiet spot for a good half an hour. Need to ensure no one or anything is interrupting. Let my mind wonder. Not gonna move anywhere. Even if the phone notice comes in, leave it be. I’m just gonna sit there.

Take a long walk.
It is said walking is a meditation in itself. It’s an accidental meditation. Monks do it too. Breezy airs and nature will do wonder. That’s when I don’t have to look at my phone. My mind is with nature and the surrounding environment. Put in the walk daily.

Take a good warm shower.
I get complain for using the restroom too long. Yes, that’s right. But i think that’s also the only time where i don’t touch my phone. I’m taking a good warm shower. That’s where my mind is calm and in the presence. Shall I call it a shower meditation?
