What details of your life could you pay more attention to?

In this fast paced world we tend to climb on the hamster wheel driven by the desire of more. We want to be more, we want to have more and somehow, it’s never enough

What’s sad is that on this journey, we forget who we are and what we actually need to pay attention to.

There are so many aspects of life that bring us joy more than money and a carrier. Those minor details that we brush under the carpet and forget about

Nobody seems to have time for just a walk in the park. A real walk with no phones, no thoughts on what needs to be solved at work or home. Just you, the sound of leaves brushed by the wind, birds singing and squirrels chasing. That walk that recharges you. That simple walk that fills your lungs and makes your heart smile.

I am stressed out of my head and many times I am not even able to tell you why. Sitting down, trying to read a book? I love reading but every time I open that current read, my mind races with thoughts: what do I still have to do? Shall I hoover now? Have I taken the bins out? How many things I have left undone at work for the next day? …. an infinite chain of thoughts that make me realise I need to start that chapter all over again.

Anxiety is a big bitch and once I start spiraling, there is no way back. There are the sit down thoughts and there are the “are you feeling ok? Allow me to mess you up” thoughts – these are the most dangerous. The worst case scenario, the never ending vivid moments when I picture my daughter having an accident of some sort and I panic so much that I lose my mind, the moments when I am having arguments in my head about things that will probably never take place …

So, when you ask me what details of my life could I pay more attention to, I would say: 💯 my mental  health. I would seek help at that moment when I first felt like I was losing it. I would speak up instead of hiding my feelings for fear of not hurting someone else’s

I would pay more attention to my instincts. That sixth sense, the gut feeling. I would listen to it on every possible occasion and I would cherish it more.

I would pay more attention to ME! Maybe this way I would actually learn to speak when I have to and listen when it’s the case of listening. I would pay attention to me and I would change myself into someone else completely: I would be brave, smart, fearless and maybe a bit more selfish.
