Amidst the hustle and bustle of city life, many of us find it increasingly harder to achieve inner peace. Pressure comes from seemingly every angle — work, family, friends. Faced with all this pressure, our minds are kept busy, just like the metropolitan that we live in.

It is useful to detach our minds from our busy lives every once in a while. We can do this by putting aside the distractions that we are faced with, and listening to our heart and inner side.

I was at Universal Studios in Singapore recently. The theme part was unsurprisingly crowded. While walking around the beautiful park however, I realised there are many areas which are quaint and quiet. It made me realise that we don’t have to be constrained by our surroundings, that we can always find our own oasis within the busy metropolitan we live in. Mindfulness is something we can practise wherever we are.

Even in busy Universal Studios, we can also practise yoga if we want to!
