Close Attention

Pay attention to change.

As I looked at the pages in my notebook, I realised I had written 2023 on all the pages bar one.

On the first day of the new year, I was paying attention to the change. And, then, as I went through the following pages, it was easy to slip back into writing last year’s date.

Any intention we make for change can befall the same fate, as so much of what we do is by habit, without conscious thought.

Change requires close attention if we want it to become one of those habits we can do without thinking.

And, whilst writing the wrong date in my notebook isn’t a big deal, there are other changes I do want to be paying attention to.

How about you? I’m curious what change are you paying attention to?
