I've been focusing on being aware of sounds for the past day and a half because i thought it would be the easiest sense to practice ADA with, and damn it is really challenging. Its also really exhausting but I love it. At first I tried to only practice being aware of sound whenever im in my car, but now i have expanded it to whereever i go, to whatever im doing. Right now as im typing this im focusing in on the sound that each keyboard makes, my fan clattering, the wind movement that its causing, my breath. I also had two very long dreams this morning, although i also got a lot of sleep.

I think i can sum up ADA as a battle against mental laziness. I can see how if youre stressed or have a busy lifestyle, it is easy to surrender to your thoughts and forget whats going on around you. ADA is definitely keeping my mind at bay.
