Your Day 20 Making Time challenge:
For 20 minutes… take 20 photos of what is around you
These days we move through life at such a hectic pace, racing from one job to the next, that we barely stop to take note of what’s going on around us. We may be able to do everything at lightning speed, but how much space in our minds does this leave to truly and deeply experience anything?
Observation is a powerful thing. It requires us to be present in the moment. It requires us to stop and tap into all our senses – sight, sound, touch, taste and smell. When we really start pay attention we start to notice the world in a whole new way. We appreciate its beauty. We dream, we imagine, and we’re inspired to create.
As the old proverb goes, it’s important to ‘Make time to stop and smell the roses’, so today you have some field work! It doesn’t matter where you are – in the countryside, in a city centre, on an industrial park, on the beach, in your back garden – take 20 minutes to observe what’s going on around you – people, animals, plants, trees, the sky – and take 20 pictures of what you see.
This process is about awakening your senses and connecting with the amazing world around you. Go explore, be inspired and open the door to your creative spirit.
