61 - Observe

Full transcript here 👋 Hey, good morning, good afternoon, good evening. This is your life. This is your chance. Listen. The word for today is observe. Now, I’m certainly not the most observant person. I had a random memory today of noticing a fairly obvious attribute of a friend about 8 years later than I should have. After elementary, middle, and half of high school, I saw that one of my friend’s ears was partially folded down. I asked him if it happened recently, and he said it was as recent as his birth. Today’s concrete challenge is to stop and notice. Right now, you’re probably surrounded by a familiar environment, but if you’re not, that could make this activity even more rich. Take at least 60 seconds to stop and notice something new. It could be the sounds, sights, scents, or any other sensory information. Observe your environment and find something new, even if you’ve been in this scene a thousand times before. Use the next few minutes of this podcast to stop and notice. I’ll keep the music playing while you do, and don’t miss the soundtrack at the end of this episode. Before you go, repeat the following soundtrack, “I am the kind of person who is able to stop and observe.” Let me know if this made a difference in your day by leaving a comment in your podcast app or at concrete.win/today. Check back tomorrow for a new challenge. Until then.
