I so agree, noticing is—surprisingly, to me at least—game-changing.
One of the best things I ever did was set a goal in 2024 to love my state. I’d lived in AZ for 10 years and thought it was hideous, dusty and hot. So for a year, I made a conscious effort to just SEE. And I fell in love! Every day I see a certain mountain in the distance as I drive around my little town and it’s a delight. I refer to it as my mountain, and seeing it from various angles, light and shade, clear sunshine and murky smog, I feel like a high school kid sneaking glances at her home room crush. It’s the best ❤️
Angela! This is an amazing story! I live in a desert-like environment (inland Southern California) and I am always complaining about it 😂 but I love your suggestion and I am going to practice it more often ❤️
Thanks for giving me the chance to tell the story again 😉 it’s amazing how much beauty there is to see once I looked up. I hope you find something to love in your area and share!
