How do you get to work each day?

Perhaps you drive. Perhaps you take a bus, subway, street car or similar public transit. Maybe you bike or walk.

If you are like the majority of people, you probably take the same route each day - day in and day out. That's because humans are creatures of habit.

A great way to remain mindful of each moment is to shake up routines and avoid habitual behavior. My suggestion to you for this week is to challenge yourself to find five different routes to get to work and take a different route each day.

Even if you only vary your route by one extra block, I know that this fresh scenery will help give you a new perspective on your daily commute. And that change of perspective, first thing in the morning, can lead to wonderful things throughout your entire day!

ENJOY NOW!

Use your senses fully:
Be where you are. Look around - just look, don't interpret. See the light, shapes, colors, textures. Be aware of the silent presence of each thing.
