"One of the best ways to learn to be mindful is to take the dog for a walk. Dogs are always in the moment. They can take the same walk for 10 years and still experience grass in an entirely new way each day. They're not worried about the past ("Why didn't my people give me some of that chicken they had for dinner?") or the future (" I wonder if my people will give me any chicken when we get home?"). All they think about is what is right in front of them: the smell of the grass, the basset hound in the yard next door, the squirrel in the tree across the street"
