Bhante Gunaratana 

When sitting anxiously at the dentist office, meditate on your anxiety.

When feeling angry and upset while standing in line at the bank, contemplate the anger and upset.

When you get bored at the shuttle stop, meditate on boredom.

Try to stay awake and conscious throughout the day.

Pay attention and see what is happening exactly now, even if it is hard and boring. Take advantage of the moments u have alone. Utilize mechanical activities - not requiring any thought and mental work - to a great extent.

Seize and utilize every second to be an alert present.

Sitting anxiously in the dentist’s office, meditate on your anxiety. 

Feeling irritated while standing in a line at the bank, meditate on irritation. 

Bored, twiddling you thumbs at the bus stop, meditate on boredom. Try to stay alert and aware throughout the day. Be mindful of exactly what is taking place right now, even if it is tedious drudgery. Take advantage of moments when you are alone. Take advantage of activities that are largely mechanical. Use every spare second to be mindful.
