Conscious Living Tip: Keep your mobile switched off whilst travelling to or from work at least one day this week.
Ask yourself, does it really need to be on all the time? Do you really
need to check your emails, text messages, voicemails, tweets and other
messages so frequently? (Maybe you do... but I doubt it).
On your way to or from work try smiling (yes, people may think you're
weird, especially if you do this during the rush hour commute in London,
for example), then try smiling at someone else (be genuine and you may
get a smile back, if they haven't called for help!), look out the window
of your bus or train with fresh eyes (can you see the window with all
those other people crammed in front of you??)... if you can, try making
sure you walk through a park or green, and inhale some long, deep,
good-feeling breaths... really be present.
Basically, keep
your mobile off for as long as you can. Watch yourself "needing" to
switch it on (it will happen!)... watch the habit and let it go.
Enjoy the feeling of being free.
Switch your mobile on later, when you feel you want to. Or perhaps you really need to check your messages/tweets/emails now?

My vision is to empower others to become aware of their true natures, and to help them live more joyfully and consciously. What is crucial today is awareness of Self and its vital role in guiding each of us to our true place in life, and our relationship to the whole. This is a state of being that empowers each person to enjoy every moment of every day and understand the seeds of opportunity that disguise themselves as challenges and obstacles.
