Andy Puddicombe: All it takes is 10 mindful minutes

All it takes is 10 mindful minutes

When is the last time you did absolutely nothing for 10 whole minutes? Not texting, talking or even thinking? Mindfulness expert Andy Puddicombe describes the transformative power of doing just that: Refreshing your mind for 10 minutes a day, simply by being mindful and experiencing the present moment. (No need for incense or sitting in uncomfortable positions.)

Most people spend nearly half their lives mentally absent, lost in thought, or distracted, according to Harvard research. Taking just ten minutes each day to do absolutely nothing can refresh the mind and restore presence. This daily pause cultivates focus, calm, and clarity, helping people break free from cycles of stress and distraction. It does not require incense, complicated rituals, or sitting on the floor.
