10 Ways How Travel Helped With My Mindfulness Journey
Having an open mind
Be open to notice little things. Don’t have your predetermined judgments about any place. If you have an open mind, anything like people, nature, things can help you get the new lesson.
Being Attentive
Mindfulness requires high awareness about the present. So be attentive to the surroundings. Savor the present moment. Continue your daily mindfulness practices. Be focused on your purpose of travel.
Maintaining a travel journal
Record the sweet memories of the places visited in your Travel Journal. It’s a good keepsake for your lifetime. Whenever you feel life is getting crucial, then flip the pages of your travel journal to get refreshed and rejuvenated.
Embracing all
Be ready to face any challenges. Not everything goes well. But prepared for learning about new people, new tradition, and new place by embracing everything.
Watching people
Whenever you wait in a queue or just wait, try to engage yourself by watching people around. People Watching is my favorite pass time during travel. You can observe how the people are moving, how they behave and how they connect with others.
Disconnecting to reconnect
Keep your gadgets shut down. Disconnect from this fast-moving world. Slow down. Reconnect with your soul by spending time in silence, admiring the beauty of nature, taking deep breaths and simply being there.
Savor little things
Buy the famous things from the local stores. Eat their traditional food items. Collect booklets and pamphlets of the place to make your revisits. Gift the people with small gifts from your native place.
Letting go
Don’t rush into anything. If your plans fail, don’t worry much. Just let it go. Be mindful. Visit more places. Connect with more people. Don’t be in a hurry.
Feeling the mightiness
Enjoy the mightiness of nature and universe. This may help you understand how tiny you among all the creatures of God. It will make you treat everyone and every creature as equal. Practice Loving Kindness Meditation.
Explore the unexplored
Try some adventures. Explore more by traveling to unique places and reveal the mystery of nature that are unexplored. Try to include some places that are not on your list.

I do feel the same Vasantha. Travel rally helps to disconnect and then re connect. Do read my bucket list on travel too. I have been unable to visit your posts regularly but will catch up soon. April has been so overwhelming, your mindfulness posts are going to help me de-stress.
Thanks and no problem, dear. Here also the same.
I can easily relate to this. I used to travel a lot in trains before for work. Usually from Chennai to Delhi. So I had nearly 34 hours of just watching and observing people inside the train and on the different platforms. It was almost like meditation for me. I still plan on walking into railway station and booking an open ticket to a random place and traveling there for a day or two. I think it will be a good exercise in being more spontaneous.
You are absolutely right. Give a try and let me know.
So agree with each of your points. Travel opens new horizons , things which are sometimes not really aware of
Thanks, Ramya.
When I first started writing, I would attend conferences in different cities. Dallas. Pittsburgh. Reno. Houston. It always amazed me that very few attendees would leave the hotel. I always explored, knowing I’d probably never visit again. Because of that, I experienced an old world market, walked an underground city, and saw white tigers at feeding time!
oh… That’s so fantastic !!!
