Landmark Lookouts:
- Simple Mindfulness: Can you shift into a calm, attentive state where you are paying attention to what is around you?
- Mindful Walking: Can you experience a Mindful state, or Mindful qualities while walking or going about your day?
Wherever will be walking next should be a great time to be Mindful. Practice these types of steps.
- Try to just simply be as mindful as you know how, and be attentive to the walk, bringing your attention back to whatever feels pleasant, rather than allowing thoughts to distract you.
- Be aware of the sky and consider it as a ceiling or dome enclosing you in an area. Feel the quality of this area and how you are walking through it. Rest in this area and sense that it is the only place that exists in The Now.
- Whenever you notice your mind wandering, don't worry about that, and simply enjoy any mindful strategy for your current walk
- Your feet are walking - notice the sound of your feet, the feeling of the steps
- Your face - wind and sun create sensations on your face
- Noises - what are the most pleasant and calming noises?
- The Now - remember that you are "here" and it is the perfect place to be right now.
