Take time to pause for a moment and look out a window. Just pause. Stop walking so hurriedly (if you're in a crowded hallway, take care not to stop suddenly). Where are you going that's so important you can't even stop to enjoy the view of the outside world? How many hours do you spend looking at a computer screen that isn't even half as interesting as a window?
As you look out the window, you might feel the urge to go outside. At lunch break, or after work/school/whatever, do it! Go outside and sit for a moment, or walk around in a leisurely manner. Pay attention to your senses. Feel the sun on your head and shoulders, the wind on your skin, and the ground or pavement under your shoes. Smell pine trees or flowers, or the hot dogs cooking at the stand down the street. See the blue-gray sky, the multitudes of people or the lack of people, and the shapes of the things around you. Learn to appreciate the beauty of both countryside and city. See the city as a giant jungle gym, or a computer chip, or anything that you find interesting.
Look out windows, and see more than what others see.
