Hello and welcome back to practicing human the podcast where every day we're getting a little better at life.

I am your host Corey Muscarra and this is a weekend episode. I know it might be a little bit confusing if you've been following along.

Not sure are we doing weekends? Are we not doing weekends? Since I took a bunch of time off I

decided to give you at least one weekend day, but I do like having at least one day

on the weekends for people to catch up.

So for tomorrow we will not have an episode and you can use that time to catch up on past

episodes or review episodes from this week. But in today's episode as we typically do on the weekends

I'm going to give you a very short, very basic technique that you can apply

into your life almost so basic that we can't believe it's a

podcast episode the beauty of simplicity more to come on that technique in a

moment but first let's focus in on our other simple practice, which is tuning

into the bells. Okay, so what is this super simple, mindfulness practice?

Well, we're going to call it stop light meditation.

I forget where I originally heard this, but somewhere in my mindfulness,

presence journey along the way. I remember coming across a teacher who said every

time while they're driving they come to a stoplight they use that as an opportunity to take a deep breath to reground and then to proceed.

And if there are a lot of stoplights there are many opportunities for this regrounding.

It's a nice simple practice, simple habit that they established, and made for many opportunities

to drop in.

So that's what I'm going to offer to you as well. Start

integrating stoplight meditation into your driving routine. Every time you come to

a stoplight, just take a deep breath.
