**cushion**

excuse me if there are already topics on this, but I was wondering what in soto zen is to be done away from shikantaza sitting, as far as mindfulness goes? just chop wood? as some of you may know I have an overactive mind which can cause anxiety, so I do a lot of focusing on the breath stuff, and things learned from other traditions. so when I just chop wood, are there any tips on being present/mindful, or are those things fruits of shikantaza?
gassho,
