Ever go out and walk around and really pay attention to your surroundings. Everyone walks around mindlessly like a zombie. Usually because they are on their cellphones or wearing their headphones. Or at restaurant, people concentrating on their technology instead of the company that surrounds them. We all do it!

So, maybe zombies aren’t real, but we really need to start connecting with our environment; talk to people, listen to the birds or cars whizzing by.

Mindfulness. Try being more aware of what you are doing and who’s around you. It can change your life.

Side note: Don’t get me wrong, I am a bit of a tech gear head, but it also takes mindfulness to realize that there is a time and place.
