Guest guest Posted July 25, 2012 Report Share Posted July 25, 2012 I have found that driving and mindfulness are a perfect practice. When I am driving my goal is not to get from point A to point B. My goal is to be 100% present; and to be present in each new increment of time as it appears. I want to create a safe space for my truck of course, AND the next vehicle. As I move forward, vacating the space I was in, I am paying attention that that space I have left is safe for another car. I am not speeding, quickly stopping and starting, racing towards stop lights, squeezing into tiny spaces in the next lane over, etc. I make sure there is space around my car for others to be safe. If another car is attempting to enter or exit the traffic flow, I notice it, because I am not on automatic pilot, rushing on to point B, and I am conscious of the other car, the flow of traffic and slow down and open a space for them. I am aware of the feeling in my feet and legs as I use the foot pedals, the reach of my arm as I shift gears, aware of the sound of the surrounding traffic, etc. etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
