Day 34 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day thirty four, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

We humans are constantly wandering, walking, scratching, talking, and generally just existing. Very rarely do we take the time to “smell the roses”, let alone watch someone else smell the roses.

Day 34: People Watch
Go to a nearby restaurant, or coffee shop, go anywhere you can get a window seat and watch people outside. Make yourself comfortable and just observe. Spend a good hour or two just watching people go by and continue their daily tasks.

The object of studying others is also about self-reflection and observation. How many people do you see stopping and looking around? How many are busy speaking on their mobiles? What people do and pay attention to is related to where they are mentally. This observation to people may be applied to other things later on.
