Like so many said, I’m excited to continue to practice this technique and get stronger at it. With so many of us using extreme focus and tunnel-vision when working on our phones and computers, it’s a nice way to reset after a tech sesh and realize that the world is bigger than what we are focusing on in that moment. It is kind of like a super power! I could see much more than I thought I’d be able to

I did this exercise while on a walk with my dog. I usually get very in my head while walking. Almost in this hypnotic state- like when you drive a car home at night and you’re just home all of a sudden, not able to recall the details of driving home because you’re in this automatic mode. Instead this exercise shifted my mindset to wake up to the world and my surroundings. I felt connected, grounded, and aware of my environment in a way that I hadn’t been before (even though I walk the same trail almost every day).

I could hear all kinds of birds, the waves of the ocean crashing on the shore in the distance, a little bit of the road traffic behind me, my dog, my foot steps, my breathing, and so much more! It made me understand why people might like birding so much too haha! Because for the first time, I actually took in all of the music of the forrest and realized how much more vibrant it makes the world. Loved this one!
