Repetition of a regular, sitting meditation practice is the key to building a successful mindfulness habit. There are other ways that you can reinforce the mindful habit by bringing 'mindfulness into the mundane'. Being in the present moment through the bodily experience when completing eveyday tasks, helps to keep the mind on the qualities of mindfulness.
You have lots of opportunities to practice mindfulness that are already present in your life; in addition to the daily ten minute meditation practice. Make the most of those opportunities and mindfulness can be with you in everything you do.
Use of a meditation log is a great self-awareness tool and is really useful in helping you to build a strong mindfulness practice. Get to know what fills the busyness of your mind and redirect your focus on to the sensory experience of the moment.
