Take something you do daily: washing the dishes, folding laundry, making a cup of coffee- something of this nature.
Try and simply be with the activity you are doing: do your task without planning, judging, reviewing the day, thinking of what you will do afterwards. Very quietly allow yourself to do whatever you are doing at hand. If thoughts come, see them and let them go. Don't follow any thought.
If this is possible, begin observing how your body is while doing whatever it is you are engaged in. Try to see where tension is not necessary. Try to do whatever is at hand with the most simple and effective body movement.
Keep trying to do this, day after day.
