Pay attention

Pay Attention Monday Mantra-01

Practicing mindfulness is as simple as just paying attention. Anytime you bring your full attention to whatever it is you’re doing, you’re meditating. We all probably understand the concept. But in practice it can be a little bit trickier. Especially when we use smartphones and social media to distract our every waking moment.

So instead of turning to your phone or the internet to pass the time, try observing your surroundings. Pay attention when people are talking to you. Try everyday to notice something about your surroundings that you’ve never noticed before. Set time aside to put your devices down. Better yet, spend a few minutes quietly observing your breath with eyes closed.

Make the choice to pay attention and be fully present in your life and you’ll be amazed by what you find.
