Want to get a head start? You can immerse yourself and your mind into the world without any effort. Take a stop at one of your favourite corners of your city, and appreciate the motion of it all. As footsteps and a city pass by, your stationary perspective will allow you to see beauty in your city that you’ll have often overlooked – experience the world’s perpetual motion by stepping out of sync.

After some practice, you will realise that more of these moments can be found everywhere. Mindfulness will soon be your way of life, and you’ll never look back.
