If you’ve got a boring daily commute on a train or bus, consider some gentle yoga meditation combined with visualization. Not only will your yoga meditation prepare you for the day, it will relax you, and that’s always good.

• Listen to light music or meditation commentary
• Take slow, deep breaths

• Write positive affirmations
• If standing, put bag down and relax body and mind
• On bus or overground train, take in the view
• In a traffic jam, shift mind into neutral and relax body
