I am never more aware of a moment than during a run. Every stride of the run syncs with each breath.
It doesn’t mean random thoughts no longer turn up in my head. But in that moment, somehow it is easier for me to acknowledge them and move forward. They don’t stick. And if I do get distracted, here are two questions that help me get my focus back:
- How am I breathing?
- Where am I looking?
Running is mindfulness.
