Just like any other part of your body, your eyes need exercise.

Ever hear the term ~ repetitive motion syndrome? We usually equate that with wrist and/or elbow problems. With spending so much time on computers, reading and, for many, watching t.v., our eyes don't get the exercise they used to unless we do something to get them moving outside the little box we've put them in.

How to do that? The yogi's have created a series of exercises one can do to get them moving beyond their "normal" range of motion yet, to me, this is good but not quite as engaging as what I do.

My preference is to get out and walk and while walking, exercise my eyes by looking up to the sky, down to the ground, out to the horizon (left, right, in front), closer at the plants in various yards, etc. Of course, you still need to be aware of where you are going.

You may find, after a few days of this, your vision sharpens and your brain and thinking become clearer... How about that?

    Very observant! Exercise the eyeballs and see things you may not have noticed otherwise. :) So often I tend to look straight ahead, lost in thought, instead of really seeing the world around me.

    Many do... or walk with people and don't observe anything around them. I love looking at what's new in everyone's yard... what's blooming; what kind of animals they have. I've got kitty friends and doggy friends. Have met (and almost walked into) a couple of skunks; spooked a couple of coyotes... Would never see them w/out looking around... Oh! Always looking to see what I can do to my yard by looking at what others have done in/to theirs.
