Happiness Project - Pay Attention


In this weeks section of The Happiness Project I found it to be super relatable because the author keeps referencing situations that happen to me all the time. Example one feeling ad focusing on anxiety happens to the best of us and seeing that it is used to find self-fulfillment is awesome to me. I don’t feel so bad about myself anymore.

The idea of running on autopilot happens to me all the time as well. I am not sure if it is because my mind is racing with other thoughts of if it my sub conscious just canceling out my instinctive awareness. I too struggle to stay in the moment and find the better things there are going on around me. Hence why I am also taking a transformation of consciousness class.

Over all trying to be more mindful is what the author and myself seem to be seeking. I need to learn to harness my idea of time and take a step back; enjoy the little things that I miss on a daily basis. I fell like learning to change the way you look at things by any means necessary is one of the key parts of leaning to focus and pay attention. Even when pertaining to life on a broader scale.

Lastly the food diary was discussed and though I never understood the power that these diaries hold I figured I would start to be more mindful as a result of reading what can happen while browsing online. Seems to me to be a worthwhile thing to at least try in a mental state. But as mentioned in the book this habit tends to be very difficult for most people to catch onto so we shall see who it goes and I will re evaluate in a future post.
