10 Ways to Stay Mindful in the City

Inspired by @wordsarevibrations book ‘Shit Your Ego Says"‘.

Can you be mindful in the city?

As we start to go back into the cities and the 'new-normal' our minds can easily be overwhelmed by all the new stimuli.

As James McCrae says in his book:
"Living in a city is a spiritual test. The voices are many and the demands are urgent. Do this. But that. Listen to me. The city is full of distractions, pushing and pulling us in every direction."

I hope these nudenotes help you stay mindful whilst you're running around the city.

It takes practice and time to be mindful in the city, it's a muscle you need to exercise regularly to keep it in tip-top condition.

Remember, attention is power. Master your own attention and you'll master power.
Don't give up your power, the hustle and bustle of the city.

If you look for poetic space-age memes with a mindfulness twist, head over to James' feed. It's a welcome break from the usual IG madness.

I like to keep a curious eye out for cool design - a vintage piece of signage, architecture or an interesting shop window.

These random points of inspiration help build my visual vocabulary and add some creative meaning to my shopping trips.
