It is better to pay attention to things around us because it helps us to be more observant. Being observant is a useful skill to help us interact with the world effectively. Observing ourselves is important because we can find clues about ourselves we didn’t know existed. Learning about our thoughts, our feelings, and our behaviors can also give us clues as to how we respond to different situations. Sometimes we react to a situation instead of stepping back for a wider scope. Being an active observant means seeing things that others missed. Observation requires us to painstakingly watch something or someone to compare a hunch or an idea to what we’re observing.
