One of the most important daily activities for me is the act of paying attention to everything that exists around me; it's a gift I present to myself, only brief moments really, but it's a deeply reflective time of contemplation in which I feel a sense of awe and inspiration from things that surround me.

This is an outside thing usually, a nature thing, which I incorporate with some stretching and deep breathing. It's a few minutes to see and feel the miracles around me like the plants, skies overhead, fresh air, the creatures and my inner self; I allow myself to open up and draw in the world around me util it fills me up and then push gratitude back out into the world around me. This helps me focus and fills my life with joy, happiness and a sense of peace; it's a lovely way to start or end my day.
The world seems so preoccupied with a million things that capture people's attention and interest, but I wonder how many of those things are truly important or even valid, how many make people feel fulfilled, connected and centred. I'm sure they get in the way and keep people focused elsewhere and away from what's truly important.
