How To Be Mindful

[Samuel Garcia]

They say be mindful what ever you do throughout your day. I may be sounding silly, but how? Which technique (if any) should be used? 

Is it best to do the labeling method (hear,feel, see)? I don't think so because there is so much going on it is hard to focus on one sensory channel for at least 5 seconds. For example as I type this, there are sounds of the keys, seeing the letters on the key boards, seeing the letters appear on the screen, the feeling of the chair on my body, feeling the ground on the feet, the voice in my head etc. 

Focusing on the breath as anchor would be distracting to what I am doing. So would be feeling the body. Any advice? 

Also, what do you do if your waiting? What mindfulness would be best? Listen to thoughts? Focusing on the breath? Labelling? Vipassana body scan? Which one?

Seems like you are overthinking it and that doesn't equate to mindfulness so leave all those ideas and techniques to themselves. Awaken to our awareness at the seat of consciousness being diffused and open but if our mind's attention is caught by something let it be what it is and accept it as it is.
