Well, there&#8217;s nothing wrong with getting a free paper. It&#8217;s always nice to see people take interest in current affairs&#8230; or is it just for the entertainment gossip? Reading can be a good habit, though an annoying fact about a handful of these newspaper-reading folks is that they read while they walk. Not only do they sometimes bump into people, they cause commuter jams in crowded stations.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, walking can be therapeutic meditation, but we often miss the opportunity to practise it. In today&#8217;s hectic lifestyle, it&#8217;s getting less possible to not do many things at once. The more we flood our mind with more to-dos, the more we think we feel alive? Unfortunately, that&#8217;s not true. While most of us are almost guilty of walking while talking on the mobile, I even see some reading novels and playing PS2 while walking &#8211; it&#8217;s quite absurd! The very first time that I truly walk with mindfulness was when I truly walked. The taste of true walking was beyond words. I really wish I could write more about that experience, but hey I&#8217;m not going to spoil the excitement of discovery for you.  \ud83d\ude09 \u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Next time, slow things down a little, just simply walk&#8230; Just walking, you will really and literally walk into mindfulness.  \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since the distribution of free newspapers began, people would flock in the mornings like bees towards the handout spots&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[33,89],"class_list":["post-1187","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-mix","tag-meditation","tag-mindfulness","wpcat-1-id"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1187","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1187"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1187\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1187"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1187"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/moonpointer.com\/new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1187"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
