COURSE

The Art Of Noticing: Daily Challenges To Become More Present

With Mario Georgiou

Welcome to The Art Of Noticing. A new round of playful mindfulness challenges awaits you! You do not need to have completed the first course to enjoy and benefit from this one. If you joined the first Noticing Game, you’ll already know how powerful something as simple as paying attention can be. This time, we’re going deeper, past the obvious and into the subtle details of daily life. Across five light-hearted sessions, you’ll explore the quiet life of natural treasures you can bring home, the hidden patterns of shapes, the beauty of movement, the invisible power of smell and memory, and even the secret energy of the spaces you move through. This course isn’t about doing mindfulness perfectly. It’s about opening your senses, sparking curiosity, and letting the ordinary world feel a little more alive. With just a few minutes each day, you may discover that the “secret world” has been around you all along, waiting to be noticed.

Due to popular demand, here are 5 MORE days of fun mindfulness challenges to be more present.

Lesson 1

Bringing Life Home

Your first challenge is about finding a little piece of life to bring home with you — something small that reminds you of the living world around us. It could be a flower, a leaf, a seed, a sprig of herb, or even a feather you come across. The joy is in noticing what calls to you, and how it feels to carry that little reminder of life into your space.

Lesson 2

The Triangle Hunt

Today’s challenge is all about shapes — specifically, triangles. They’re hiding everywhere, from rooftops and road signs to folded paper, lamp shades, and even pizza! Your task is to notice these three-sided shapes in your environment and see what catches your eye. The fun isn’t in finding every triangle, but in slowing down and paying attention to patterns you usually overlook. Watch how the world is quietly made up of angles and lines, and see if you can spot triangles in places you never noticed before. Pick the one that stands out most to you — the one that surprises, delights, or makes you pause. Let yourself enjoy the little geometric discoveries hiding in plain sight.

Lesson 3

Life In Motion

Today’s challenge is all about noticing movement — the subtle and surprising ways the world around you is always in motion. It could be the wind fluttering leaves, curtains dancing in a draft, the swirl of your coffee as you stir it, or even ants marching across the ground. The key is to see these movements without trying to control them or trying to predict where they are going. Watch patterns, rhythms, and the tiny surprises that life offers every day. Pick the moment of motion that catches your attention most — the one that makes you pause, smile, or notice something new. Let yourself enjoy the world as it moves around you, and see how it moves you in return.

Lesson 4

The Nose Knows

Today’s challenge is all about smells — the subtle, surprising, and often overlooked scents that surround us every day. It could be the aroma of coffee brewing, fresh bread from a bakery, damp earth after rain, herbs on your windowsill, or even a perfume drifting from someone passing by. Smells are powerful because they can instantly transport us to a memory, a place, or a person. A whiff of something familiar might remind you of your childhood home, a friend you haven’t seen in years, or a moment that made you laugh. Even scents we usually consider unpleasant can trigger a memory or feeling in unexpected ways. As you go through your day, pay attention to the smells that grab you. Pick the one that stands out most — the one that makes you pause, smile, or recall something vivid. Let your nose guide you, and see where it leads.

Lesson 5

The Secret World Around You

Today’s challenge is about noticing the invisible — the subtle, hidden life and energy that usually goes unnoticed. The world is full of small movements, shifts, and currents that we rarely pay attention to, from the way a room feels to the gentle vibrations under your feet, the brush of a light breeze, or the quiet rhythm of life in your environment. You might notice how spaces have their own energy — a bedroom can feel calm, a street busy, an elevator tense. Even people and animals emit subtle cues of curiosity, calm, or excitement. The goal is not to control or label what you notice, but to open yourself to the secret life all around you. Pick the discovery that stands out most — the one that makes you pause, smile, or wonder. Let yourself explore the hidden currents of your day and see how much life is moving quietly all around you.
