This is not a sarcastic thread. I would like to get more in touch with my sensory capabilities. How would one beging to maintain focus over such things? Is it a nmeasure of mental strength?

Things like bike riding might not count, because you can easily zone out and get in your head while riding, it doesn't require 100% attention.
Ride down a mountain with no brakes. Try zoning out then.
Video Games. Specifically first person shooters. I call it my "active sensing" because I do have to actively make sure I'm being as observant as possible. I play Call of Duty 4 all the time, and in the summers I play a lot of Paintball and have found my abilities to detect change in my environment are very heightened. Granted, it's very specific in how I do "sense" as I think I use my intuition to establish a mood, atmosphere or print in how my environment [or video game map] "should" be, then wait for a sensory trigger to disturb that image and that's how I'll notice something.
Granted, I'm still naturally oblivious to the world around me if I'm not actively putting energy into making sure I'm perceptive. Just the other day I put two socks on the same foot, put my shoes on, and drove all the way to school before I figured out why my left foot felt funny.
sports is a very good suggestion. nothing quite like getting a ball to the face to keep you focused.
