How to slow down and engage with your surroundings.

Summer is here and I aspire to feel a bit more zen as I am off on my holidays on the 4th of July, hence this newsletter about awakening the senses and the power of presence. I just read that learning the art of seeing can boost our productivity and sharpen our problem-solving skills. Oh how I want to believe this! So here goes;-)

The Art of Seeing 
In a world dominated by digital distractions and constant stimuli, being present in the moment is hard. But the art of seeing begins with the simple act of being fully present so try to reduce distractions and train your mind to be more attentive.

Everyday life is filled with ordinary moments that, when observed closely, reveal extraordinary beauty. The play of light and shadow, the intricate patterns in nature, and the expressions on people’s faces all hold a unique charm when seen with intention. This heightened awareness can lead to a sense of rejuvenation and increased energy. By appreciating the beauty and vitality in your surroundings, you may find that your overall well-being improves, fostering a more positive and energised mindset.

The art of seeing thrives on curiosity. Cultivate a childlike wonder and approach the world with fresh eyes. Ask questions, explore the unfamiliar, and seek to understand the stories behind the things you encounter. By fostering curiosity, you unlock a treasure trove of knowledge and expand your perspective on the world. This heightened awareness can lead to innovative ideas, fresh perspectives, and a greater ability to connect seemingly unrelated concepts. By approaching challenges with a more observant and open mindset, you are better equipped to identify alternative solutions and think outside the box. 

The art of seeing is a a continual process of discovery and appreciation. It’s not easy to slow down. But I’m thinking this summer holiday will be a good time to try it out. So what say you? Will we have a go at this?
