Eye contact. Even with "mundane" (which are not mundane!) things.
Small things can be done with feeling.
You're pouring cereal in the morning? Giving supper? Do it with feeling.
Connect through bathing your children, dressing them, helping them with their homework...

When my cup is full I can be present even while cooking and laundry. It means I’m relaxed and my mind isn’t racing and I’m not irritable and want space.
. If I feel exhausted and depleted and peopled out then I won’t be present even if I’m on the couch chilling.
