It's interesting to read this--I think people just enjoy different things--and have many moods. 😂 I enjoy noticing--but sometimes what I'm enjoying noticing is the action itself (which you miss if you are looking at other things). So, interesting to consider the topic!

I did have a thought halfway through drafting that maybe people can be noticing things internally or with different senses rather than externally or visually-observing tone of voice or smells, or chatter (possibly mine) while not noticing what’s external-and yes, that’s perfectly fine. And noticing is certainly not a checklist expectation. I think it’s more of a stance-are you spending g time in the here and now and paying attention when you do? That’s worth practicing 😊
