Read your way through it.

Are you a READER? Do you enjoy the act of reading? Or do you consider reading a chore, and mindlessly wander through paragraphs?
Personally, I am not an avid reader. I'm a sucker for watching Television and the visual stimulation and movement it creates. I do not read books and literature for joy and entertainment. Sorry Harry Potter fans. The thought of trying to read a novel of over 300 pages, sounds like a criminal sentence and detention. Some people are really into it, which is respected no doubt. Although personally it's not my bag, I am OPEN MINDFUL to the act of reading.
For example I actually purchased and paid for a paperback book today. Really. It was a "self-help" book called "Adulting." I was thinking this "Adulting" book may have some valid points about becoming more of a grown-up, well rounded citizen. I am a man, so now I guess, I have to become an adult. Oh the inevitable. Recently my straight shooter, solid, lawyer, and wise opinionated uncle challenged me to become more of a "grown-up." I reluctantly accepted & agreed to try. In real life one of my goals is to retain leisure freedom & become a successful adult, sans the marriage component. We digress off topic.
Moving along, so are you a READER? You must at least physically be able to read, if your eyes are cruising through this OPEN MINDFUL blog creation. I genuinely appreciate you and your comments as always! This exact blog is ranked #1 on google's keyword Open Mindful searches, and has been for a couple years.
Reading is an important aspect of life on Earth. Most of the street signs in cities are in english and require reading. Magazines, Newspapers, Emails, Text Messages, Iphone Applications, Real Estate Contracts, and numerous more life aspects require reading. It is a must!
Sometimes, I jump through reading, because of my moderate liking of it. I was never a "bookworm" like our elementary school librarian so wanted us to be. I do enjoy reading Twitter messages, but those are concise, quick and 140 characters or less. I feel the need to be more OPEN MINDFUL to reading my way through life. Reading is good for your brain. There is ample evidence to suggest this. Click here to read this support for reading.
So whether you enjoy reading for entertainment, or as a means to work, live and get things done, both personalities are okay. Let's be OPEN MINDFUL to the effect of how reading can selfishly IMPROVE YOUR BODY AND LIFE IN GENERAL. Let's all be better people, why not?

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

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

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
