It is so rare that I go for a walk without a destination or goal in mind. Also, it is not very often that I am alone when I walk. I either have children or a dog with me. I often see people walking with a book and reading as they walk. This always seems odd to me, if not dangerous. Its not often you see someone walking alone, and not listening to music too. I suppose a purposeless walk is akin to meditation. People should go out and walk free of distractions, says Nicholson. "I do think there is something about walking mindfully. To actually be there and be in the moment and concentrate on what you are doing."
-This can be done with anything, not just walking. How often are you present and in the moment when brushing your teeth or driving somewhere? Most of the time we are distracted by a thought or the future, past or just your minds internal dialog, doing what it does.
