Zen is an ancient term that has become commonplace in Western society these days -- it's something we all strive for in our busy lives but few actually find. But have you ever wondered how you can incorporate Zen principles into your everyday life? The Phoenix Center Blog has some suggestions:

Only do one thing at a time. Multi-tasking is overrated -- it only causes us more stress.
Become aware that life is about choices and see through choices through carefully
Live in the moment
Think about how many people have worked to create what you have, and be grateful.

Instant calm: Let the Zen Stick help you meditate

In this busy world of ours, it's sometimes hard to calm your mind, to just let go after a long day at the office, running errands, or chasing kids. How do you find peace of mind when you're stressed out? Fit Sugar suggests getting yourself some Zen Sticks. It's simply a stick, made out of fine wood, and it forces you to free your mind by making you concentrate on the stick alone.

Try this: When you're close to reaching the end of your rope, close your eyes and toss the stick in the air--not too high--and catch it. It's really hard to think about bills and housework and deadlines when your so focused on catching the stick. That's the key--and a number of celebrities agree that it's a great way to calm your mind in a hurry.
