Mindfulness is in everything! You name it, you get it.

It can be practiced in different ways. However the rule of practice remains same- pay attention and experience the present moment without any judgement.

If mindfulness practiced regularly, it can make you less reactive to the situations and accepting the moment as it is.

You are late for office?

Stuck in traffic?

Forgot your wallet or other thing?

Flight cancelled or delayed?

When you practice mindfulness, you realize they are not bad happenings. They just happened. You do not need to label them as bad. Mindfulness helps you to look at these happenings objectively.

Yeah!!

So mindfulness can become your handy and powerful thing you can carry while travelling anywhere, anytime, any place.

Let us create some mindful travelling experiences with some quick tips. Hope you like it.

1. Carry only what you need. You not need to pack everything.

Every travel is different and so the packing should be. Try to be a minimalist. Just carry what you need.Nothing else. The lesser the stuff, the better you will enjoy travelling.

2. Carry mindfulness practice with you.

Maybe the place you are going to is all new. New place, new people and you wondering, "how to survive?' surprise You need your best buddy- Mindfulness practice. You can get a map to navigate the new place. You will get some helpful people to direct you to different corners of the new place like hotel, cafe, food corner. Keep yourself mindful.

3. Journal your travelling experiences.

Whatever you experienced while travelling, write it in your journal. A nice way to create some beautiful travelling memories. Also, you can capture pictures to make your memories lively. You will love it. You will create a connectionwhat e with the place you travelled.

4. Limit your phone usage.

When you are travelling, enjoy the journey rather than looking down in your phone. If you have to just look at your phone, then you could have done it sitting at your workstation, house. When you are out, take your time to observe around. Notice people, environment, stuffs around and acknowledge the presence. You will like the experience.

So, share your mindful travelling stories with us.

@ASilentObserver being mindful is important when driving. Rather than daydream I am very alert of what vehicles are around me. It helps to focus on long trips on staying attentive. If getting drowsy time to find a rest area and do some exercises.

@ASilentObserver

HIya baby Obs thanks for this remindersmileyNow do I follow and practice it???Well I forgot when I had this evening job thing that it would take 1 hour to get home. So there went my brain and temper. But...on the radio it was talking on serenity and peace within. And that got me back to thinking mindful and not really caring on the ride home. I even marco polo someone on my bobble heads with a cool jazz songcheeky

@ASilentObserver Hi Obs! heart How are you doing today? I hope you are having a wonderful Friday and week so far! laugh This is such a wonderful post as traveling can be quite overwhelming at times, so thank you so much for this. heart

So, share your mindful travelling stories with us.
Whenever I travel, whether it is a short drive, long drive, or extensive flight, I avoid using my phone. Prior to leaving my home, I always have a list composed in order to ensure that I have everything that I needed or wanted to bring along. Then, in the car or plane, I just let myself enjoy the ride and watch out the window as much as I can. I love to ensure that I am calm, happy, and at peace when traveling, and so I love to just love myself in the scenery by admiring the different images, colors, textures, shapes, and more. smiley
