  I do, but the leaves rustling and birds chirping provides it for me. OP describing that as a bad thing is what boggles me.

    I like it too, but obviously it gets a bit boring in the same area after the 5th through to the 365th time

      I take one of two routes for an evening walk almost every day. It’s never occurred to me to listen to music or anything else while I do.

      I live in a rural area with nice scenery. If you pay attention, it is different every day. Something new is starting to grow/bloom/die back, new birds have arrived or departed, the clouds are different, the air feels different, neighbors sheep are being silly in a different way.

      I go specifically at sunset, so I find that very stimulating and no two sunsets are the same. I think about my day, my plans, goals, etc. It’s peaceful.

        That’s crazy, I would go nuts from the monotony of something like that.

        I don’t live rurally and I love it, I have nice scenery as well, and I notice all the same things and think about all the same things just like you, but keeping one of my senses busied and tied down is important to facilitate mindfulness, not the opposite.

        It is interesting to hear your unique and unusual perspective though.

        Ngl, If I wanted regurgitated buzzwords I’d talk to a fucking LLM or god forbid a redditor.

      There was an elective college class that I took that was about movies. There were some really meh ones but one that surprised me was called Smoke. This scene here stuck with me the most because it changed the way I look at the areas I see every day

        This post reminded of this Wikipedia article someone shared here a bit ago. If you don’t pay attention, everything becomes the same.

  Did you play Dark Age of Camelot?

  Also, I require constant stimulation.

      Then you must be old, as am I. Though my obsession was Everquest.
