That aligns with what you find in "Full Catastrophe Living". It's what I'm aiming for. You're right. 40 minutes is a lot. When I get to work, no-one is there. Last week, instead of firing up the computer, I turned the light off and practiced Mindfulness for 20 minutes or so before heading to the gym. My email will be waiting for me when I get back from the gym. At night I cut out some news which is violent and depressing anyway and try to meditate. It doesn't always work out but it's a goal.
