Where You Place your Bed.

Today's topic and OPEN MINDFUL inspiration is the theme of moving. It is also about the wonderful variety of neighborhoods, city, hill country and urban settings the world has!
Are you OPEN MINDFUL to living, and residing in different neighborhoods? Are you willing to CHANGE where you live, sleep, wake up and yes place your bed?
For example, I lived in the same neighborhood, Hell's Kitchen/Clinton NYC for 5 years. I grew accustomed to the location, neighborhood, subways and city proximity. Once, I almost moved to Brooklyn, yet backed out. I simply could not beat the price, and location of the wonderful apt. It just worked, along with the rooftop view & the skyline, Hudson views were amazing. I tried to trade rooms for a week, with a friend who lived in the LES on Rivington, Lower East Side, but he was grumpy and didn't fancy the swap. Yet, I believe we as humans should always remain OPEN MINDFUL to learning, and discovering new areas.
So what do you think? Are you in a living rut? Have you become overly comfortable where you live? Here's an idea. Do you think where you live changes your lifestyle, personality and lifestyle patterns? For example, would one become more of a bohemian and hipster, if they lived in 78704 or in East Austin? Does someone living in the suburbs and hill country instantly become boring and sedentary? Can couples & families happily live downtown? Where do you live? What is it like? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to changing "where you put your bed"
Think about it, life is short, and perhaps a change will surprise and strengthen your life. You could always just try to boomerang back to your ol' hood if it does not work out.

t I am always living, moving, and waking up to new places for work and a lot of times I feel the impact/vibe of each individual area gives me a different feeling. I take note and even get inspired - and tuck it away in my vision for my own exotic dream situation someday... Maybe the beaches of Australia, or Northern Cali. Could be Southern France, or Austin, TX perhaps:).. Whenever, wherever, whatever it is - I'll create it. Thoughtful post. Thanks!
PS - is that Greece in your picture? Where is that? Pretty!

What does being Open Mindful mean to you???

Image
Liberal and Open Minded to me almost seem to be pseudonyms. I would guess it could be possible to be conservative and open minded, just in my eyes those two ideals seem to be juxtaposed. What in my upbringing and brain, elicits this open minded worldly outlook, and positive, friendly mindset??? It could have either been my parental affluent hippie 60's upbringing or perhaps my University Liberal Arts Education, or yet again my 5 full years of daily life in Manhattan and the mecca that is New York City. What does being Liberal and Open Minded mean to you?? Personally I think of it as being accepting of many different lifestyle choices and varieties. For example, I am pro choice and pro abortion for women before the 2nd trimester. I am pro gay marriage, for both male and female sexes. Being a Free Speech & Born here American, I also believe in the freedom of style, culture, home location, choices in dating, restaurants, music, culture, movies, music and all. Anythi

How do we get there? Open Mindful with Transportation?

Image
There are a number of ways, we as fellow humans transport ourselves from one destination to the other. Whether you are going somewhere for a work commute, visiting a friend's place, traveling, or exploring our world, there are a multitude of ways to get there. Let's discuss! Which method of movement is the most economical? efficient? Which mode of transportation is the coolest? the Healthiest? Some obvious transportation examples that come to mind include using a regular car, walking, train, bicycle, subway, plane, moped, motorcycle, cab, bus, boat, pedicab, limousine, hybrid car, the segway, and more I'm sure. Feel free to add on. What is your favorite or preferred method? Recently I asked a client if she minded the windy drive to a particular neighborhood. She proclaimed, it was fair, pleasant, easy going & bearable. Personally, I am an avid believer & fan of walking. It would be my #1 vote for the best transportation method. With walking it is healthy and a

MORALS.... Who is to Judge your Actions?

Image
As we've discussed recently, each person is individually, physically and intellectually unique. What are your personal MORALS? Do you even have them? Should we, are they necessary? Let's not confuse morals with simply following the LAW. It is understood that the USA is a wonderful, prosperous splendid country with a plethora of freedoms. Of course, we are asked and try our best to faithfully follow our country's law and rules. But what about MORALS? Are you OPEN MINDFUL to morality? Whom is to judge what is right and wrong? Personally I would say just follow the Golden Rule. Simply treat others as you would like to be treated, with respect and kindness. Does having morals induce a better life? Often times, the BEST MOMENTS in my life, have occurred while having fun, living life with NO SHAME, and not upholding to a moral compass. For example, whimsical nights of care-free fun, randomness, friends, and newness. I do believe it is immoral to cheat on a spouse or r
