Friday Focus: Using notice as a verb
October 04, 2024
When we see the word 'NOTICE' on an email, website, or bulletin board, we expect information is coming. However, thinking about it as merely a noun, like 'MEMO', can decrease its urgency. Sometimes, using 'notice' as a verb can enhance our lives. Imagine getting lost on unmarked trails - frustrating, until you notice a beautiful grove you hadn't explored before. Suddenly, that frustration is replaced by wonder. Or, waking in the middle of the night to a crying baby, a barking dog, or, thanks to my neighbors, a crowing rooster can feel exhausting. Until you notice the full moon bringing magic to the night. Even driving home in the dark during the long Alaska winter can feel oppressive. But noticing the aurora dancing in the sky and pulling over to enjoy the show changes everything! Noticing, then, is the first step to being in the moment, to mindfulness. It can happen anywhere.
