- for example: noticing the color of the squiggles you are looking at;

You can continue, at this moment, practicing mindfulness by noticing sensations in your left foot; then your right hand.  That's it, except, that the squiggles on the screen caused thoughts that directed your attention.  You didn't.  When no one, or no external stimuli is directing your attention, you can and sometimes, do.  

Most of us, most of the time, are not mindful. 
We are thinking about what we are going to do next or what we did.

Mindfulness as a microscope for observing experience.
