Easy method to train the mindfullness muscle

[Evelyn]

That in the picture is a tally counter. As I do continual breath awareness, each time I remember to bring my awareness on breath I press the button. I am basically training myself to remember more often. It's my third day using it and I am impressed. Quite impressed. I remember more often than before and keeping track motivates me a lot. It gives something more tangible to the practice. Before there could pass hours or many minutes before remembering, now is almost constantly. I use it almost all day, except when I take a shower, wash hands or cook food. 

Give it a try!  

(Yes people started noticing something weird on my hand and I am like uhm oh, nothing... Rapidly hiding or removing the tally )

That's a simple yet great idea for breath training. It beats carrying around a whole string of Japa beads!   

At work I often keep track with pen and paper. When I remember to bring myself back to the breath, I put a hashmark on the paper. Your method is more mobile.
