@gettoefl I like the idea of interrupting your daily routine to stop and be conscious. This is what I meant by the dog walkers. I’m not saying they necessarily are all doing this mindlessly in this kind of mechanical routine fashion but it appears like they are

Id say where I do the same for example is with the commute to work and back. Your thoughts are just fixed on getting there and back and I’m less conscious here. Again this to me is the same with the mindless dog walkers where to me they appear to be doing this very unconsciously just to get the task done. Like it’s just a mindless routine habit without the deeper connection to nature. You are in nature just be present  

I thought it was quite funny when this guy just lobbed the dog ball randomly and kept walking without even looking and connecting. Just literally kept walking on as if he’d never thrown it. If that is not an example of an unconscious mindlessness way to do something I don’t know what is

Not saying that is always the case though obvs! Apply nuance here

Everything you said is normal on the path. You don't choose your irritations they are given to you. But you can always work to eventually release them.
