Keeping on the Autumn theme, here’s another way to learn from leaves.
Treasure Hunters notice things other people miss. And when they notice them, they continue on and get curious.
It’s a huge part of Treasure Hunt, that simple ability to notice and get curious. They’re skills that we can practice so that when life doesn’t seem like a treasure, it’s easier for us to switch things around.
And when we engage all of our senses--including sound--we can help our brain to relax and become more open to the world around us.
Spend a couple of minutes watching (and listening to) this Treasure Hunt I found myself on in Massachusetts not long ago. And take a couple of minutes to notice the sounds around you. Become aware of them for the rest of the day.
Intentionally stopping to notice and get curious about your surroundings can help you train your brain to see treasures you’ve been missing and, over time, can help you become more present, relaxed and focused.
And that’s always a treasure!
