Many of my clients prefer these phrases to "meditation" (many people have unhelpful Uncompromised Life Reviewpreconceived notions about meditation) but it all amounts to much the same thing - taking a few minutes to reacquaint your mind with the actual reality of the here and now, stopping your automated mind assuming that it knows what's going on in the here and now - years of research proves that it doesn't have a clue! However, mental exercising is very similar to what many perceive as the drudgery of physical exercising. Did you know that the average gym membership lasts just six weeks and that the average new member visits the gym only twice!
The fact is that many people have really good intentions but there appears to be an inbuilt tendency towards laziness or apathy. It appears that we would actually prefer to be not-to-bad than happy, healthy and fit - both physically and mentally. So, I've put together a few ideas to enable you "cultivate your mind" without having to go to the mental gym! First of all, try doing something that "gets you in the zone" - that flow-like state of mind where we are at mental peace. Perhaps you could do a little walking or jogging, or perhaps listening (really listening) to music calms your mind and turns you on to the present moment. Secondly, I strongly suggest that you do some of your habitual tasks differently.
It is our daily routine that not only numbs the mind but which ensures that our subconscious mind is given free rein to wander aimlessly in the psychological snapshots that have got us into the daily mess in which we find ourselves. You may think it's a little puerile (but, believe me, it has had a profound effect on some people's lives) - why not try brushing your teeth with the "other hand", getting dressed in the morning by putting the "other" foot in your pants first or having something completely different for breakfast (or actually having breakfast!).
