Take a minute right now (well, after reading this.....) to stop and notice. Really notice.
Look at something and take it ALL in:
Maybe you look out of the window and notice the sky, a tree, a flower, a bird.
Maybe you look at your hand, your foot, your arm, your leg, your belly.
Perhaps you look at a loved one.
Notice everything that you see. Wonder at anything you are noticing for the first time, even if it's always been there. Bask in the warmth of any familiarity. Enjoy any surprises you may see.
Look
You may choose instead to close your eyes and feel or listen:
Feel your fingers in your hair, on your skin. Lavish in the texture that is you. Notice if things feel different from what you expect.
Feel your breathing within your body, reminding you that you are alive. Discover where you breathe, how you breathe, never judging just noticing.
Listen to a song like it's the first time you've heard it. What does it say to you? How does it affect you?
Whatever you choose to do, make that minute count! For that minute, be fully in it, noticing, feeling, seeing - being. You will learn something in that one minute. That one minute will matter. You will take in more then than you possibly could for one minute on Facebook, Twitter et al.
It's just one minute. Make the minutes count.
NOW GO DO!
Til tomorrow.... :-)
