The Noticing Game: 5 Days Of Fun Mindfulness Challenges To Become More Present

With Mario Georgiou

The Noticing Game is a unique and fun 5-day mindfulness course designed to help you slow down, reconnect with your senses, and find joy in everyday moments. Each day, you’ll receive a short audio and a fun challenge that invites you to notice the world around you — from colors and smiles to the way your mind responds to simple objects. While these challenges can appear simple at first, the effect of them can be profound. This course is perfect for anyone, whether you're new to mindfulness or already practice regularly. By the end of the course, you'll be able to be more mindful in your daily routine, shift out of autopilot and into presence, practice mindfulness without needing to sit still, explore your surroundings with curiosity, and connect with others in the course chat. The exercises are simple and easy to fit into your day. You'll find them even more rewarding when shared with others in the chat, where you can reflect and feel part of a like-minded community. Join The Noticing Game today and turn your everyday life into a mindfulness playground!

Lesson 1

The Color Hunt

Today’s challenge is all about spotting the color pink. As you go through your day, keep an eye out for anything pink — a flower, a piece of clothing, or something unexpected. Take a moment to notice it, pause, and see what it brings up. This game invites you to pay attention to the world around you, to notice what often goes unseen. Make a note of the pink things you discover, and share your favorite pink discovery in the course chat!

Lesson 2

Smiles In The Wild

Today, your challenge is to spot five smiling faces. Whether it's a smile from a stranger, a friend, or even yourself in the mirror — take note of each one. As you notice them, pause for a moment and feel what they bring to you. This practice opens your eyes to the joy that is out there, even on the difficult days. Share the smile that made you feel the happiest in the course chat!

Lesson 3

Hunting For The Little Wins

Today’s challenge is to notice the small victories that often go unseen—getting out of bed on time, choosing kindness, tackling the laundry or ticking off a tiny task. In a world full of comparison and pressure, it's important to remember that the little wins matter just as much as the big ones. Spot at least three and let them sink in, then share in the group chat!

Lesson 4

The Soundtrack Of Now

Today’s challenge is all about listening. You’ll seek out five subtle, satisfying or unusual sounds — the ones we usually miss. Listen with curiosity, and let them surprise you in how they anchor you to the present. Come back to the group chat and let your fellow sound-hunters know what unique sounds exist in your life!

Lesson 5

Noticing The Noticer

On the final day, your task is to notice how the mind instantly labels, reacts and responds to the world around you. This can be a profound practice, and a lot of fun when combined with curiosity. Share one moment in the group chat, then reflect on how noticing your inner world, along with everything around you, has deepened your presence this week. At the end of the lesson there is a small, encouraging reflection to help you continue the practice of noticing!

Brilliant and engaging way to bring me more into the world and its many intriguing offerings! I had so much fun with this game and look forward to carrying it into my everyday life. I also appreciated that it was short and to the point! Even a very busy person could quickly be reminded that there is much to appreciate and be aware of both inside and outside oneself.
