Daily mindfulness practice is one part of DBT that I have flunked. I have never been successful at building a meditation practice into my day. I get bored and distracted too easily.

I do use grounding techniques as needed, and some of them involve relaxation. I like to do more active things in a mindful way. Gardening, cleaning. Stuff like that. It really helps me.

I also like to notice spur of the moment mindfulness opportunities in my day. Petting my dog, noticing something pleasant like a smell or a sight while on a walk. Letting myself become absorbed in the moment, rather than forcing it.
