Waking up is creating new habits consciously to usurp obsolete unconscious habits. How often do all humans go through their day unconscious of Self. Our interactions have become so bland that it is no wonder we are such a lonely species. I make it a habit to be awake in my interactions. I never tell a cashier to ‘have a good one’. I always tell them that ‘I appreciate you’, or ‘I am grateful for your help’. Look them right in the eye when I say it, too, so they know that I mean it.

I find many opportunities in my day to say things consciously to people. Nice things to friends and relatives that they are not accustomed to hearing. These mindful communications impact others deeply.
