The Art Of Noticing: How To Find Joy, Peace & Beauty In Your Daily Life?

In today’s fast-paced hustle-driven world, we’ve become so consumed by busyness that we often overlook the simple pleasures in our lives. We rush through our days, missing the magic in the mundane—the aroma of fresh coffee, the warmth of the morning sun, or the laughter of loved ones. We have become so accustomed to our familiar surroundings that we fail to notice the subtle beauty and wonder hidden in plain sight.

We often think this moment isn’t enough. So we look to the future, hoping we’ll be happy when something big happens. We’ll finally start living—once we get that new job, move to a bigger place, or have earned a certain amount of money. But while we wait for those big extraordinary moments, life is quietly slipping by. The majority of your life consists of those so-called ordinary moments and not those highs that you chase.

Consider for a moment: What if you don’t need to change your job or your home? What if you don't need to make any bigger life adjustments to feel more fulfilled? what if you could find peace, joy, and wonder right now, without making any changes to your routine? What if the path to greater happiness was hidden in the very things you do every day? intrigued right?

This course invites you to press pause, tune into the present moment, and rediscover the magic in the mundane. I don't know when you stopped believing in magic but I hope that there will be one such moment as you go through this course when your eyes will get bigger or teary, feeling in awe of life as you reconnect with that magic.

By taking this course, you’ll learn how to:
Find peace, meaning and joy in simple daily life activities.
Break free from feelings of isolation, boredom, or burnout.
Develop a deeper connection with yourself and your surroundings.
Turn everyday tasks into moments of mindfulness, not just mere chores.

What you will get:
Practice guided meditations: to help you slow down and appreciate the present moment.
Reflective prompts: to deepen your practice.
Practical suggestions: to easily incorporate the learnings from each lesson into your daily routine.
A whimsical story: that brings the concepts to life.
I will also share some examples from my own life to inspire your journey.

Who Should Take This Course?
Anyone who feels stuck in the monotony of daily life: Whether you’re a stay-at-home parent a work-from-home employee a retiree or someone with agoraphobia.
A busy person who does not have the luxury of downtime or vacation to relax & enjoy life.
Anyone who is feeling disconnected from themselves & life trying to find meaning in life.
Anyone who wants to live mindfully.

Join me on this journey to bring back: joy, beauty, wonder, and fulfillment in your everyday life, through the art of noticing.

Lección 1: The Problem: Living On Autopilot Mode

In this lesson, you will explore the concept of "autopilot mode" and how it affects your daily life. You’ll begin by noticing how often you go through routines without being fully aware or present, missing out on life's simple pleasures. You will recognize how much of your time is spent distracted—whether by repetitive thoughts or multitasking—which can detract from your well-being. This lesson includes a brief mindfulness practice focusing on your breath, helping you understand how easily your mind can wander and assess your present-moment awareness. Consider this lesson a wake-up call to deepen your engagement with life.

Lección 2: The Solution: Finding The Extraordinary In The Ordinary

In this lesson, you will discover how to find extraordinary moments in your everyday life. I’ll begin with a personal story of overcoming anxiety and depression, illustrating how peace is not a distant goal but something accessible in the present. You will be guided through an exercise focusing on your hands, helping you experience how even the most familiar things can evoke awe when observed with curiosity. This lesson highlights the beauty and wonder hidden in simple tasks, like washing dishes and enjoying your morning coffee or tea, through mindfulness. By the end, we will redefine the meaning of the word “extraordinary” in your mind—realizing that it’s not about adding something extra to the ordinary, but rather seeing more within the ordinary itself.

Lección 3: Guided Meditation: Beautiful Moments Of Your Life

In this lesson, you will rediscover the sense of joy, wonder, and magic that you often felt as a child. Through guided meditation, I will invite you to revisit special memories from your life—moments filled with awe and enchantment. Toward the end, you will be invited to reflect upon the three magical ingredients that made each of these moments special. Uncovering those ingredients will bring that same spark of childhood into your daily routines as an adult. In the next lesson, I will reveal the first of these ingredients and explore practical ways to integrate it into your life today.

Lección 4: Key Ingredient 1: 1st Time Experience

In this lesson, you will discover three key ingredients for rediscovering joy, beauty, and wonder in your daily life: seeing everything as new, engaging your senses, and adding fun to routine activities. You will learn the importance of perceiving even familiar experiences with fresh eyes. A guided meditation focused on breathing and sensory awareness will help you experience the uniqueness of each moment fully. As the lesson concludes, you'll receive a simple homework assignment designed to deepen your understanding of these concepts.

Lección 5: Key Ingredient 2: Sensory Awareness

This lesson explores the second key to rediscovering joy: sensory awareness. It helps you reflect on how, as children, we experience the world vividly through our senses, but as adults, we live more in our heads, missing the moment. The lesson guides you through an exercise of tuning into sounds, textures, and sights around them to reawaken their sensory awareness. To conclude, you’ll receive three prompts to reconnect with this sensory experience when you go back to your life.

Lección 6: Key Ingredient 3: Add Fun & Playfulness

This lesson introduces the third key ingredient for transforming the ordinary into extraordinary: playfulness. Drawing inspiration from the way children find joy in simple activities, the lesson offers playful suggestions to add fun to your current life, such as turning chores into games or using imagination during daily activities. I also share personal examples of how exactly I include this ingredient into my own life and from whom I learned to do so. This lesson is a gentle invitation to reconnect with your inner child.

Lección 7: Guided Meditation: Familiar Indoor Space

In this lesson, you will be guided to view a familiar room in your home or workplace in a completely new way. By imagining that you're entering the room for the first time, you will explore often-overlooked details, from the ceiling to the floor. By observing with curiosity, you will notice the familiar room transforming into a whole new world. The lesson also incorporates playful visualization exercises, to further enhance your engagement with the environment. The lesson will end by inviting you to say goodbye to the room & reflect on your experience of it.

Lección 8: Guided Meditation: Familiar Outdoor Space

In this lesson, you will be guided to transform your routine outdoor walks into explorations of discovery and wonder. It's best to listen to this lesson when you can be outside. Feel free to either take a new path or observe your usual route with fresh eyes, noticing small wonders. As you go through this meditation you will deepen your connection to the environment around you, through mindful observation and playful games. If you feel like going out, a simple challenge is given towards the end to enhance your awareness of outdoor space without having to leave home.

Lección 9: Guided Meditation: Familiar Object

In this lesson, you will be guided to explore a familiar, everyday object with fresh eyes, focusing on its intricate details often overlooked. Through mindful observation, you will be invited to reflect on the object's history, current state, and subtle changes over time. The exercise encourages using multiple senses—sight, touch, hearing, and smell—to deepen your understanding of the object. This lesson aims to shift perception, fostering a deeper appreciation for ordinary everyday objects by highlighting their impermanence.

Lección 10: Guided Meditation: Familiar Activity Or Daily Chore

In this lesson, you will be guided to infuse mindfulness into daily tasks, transforming mundane chores into moments of presence and connection. By slowing down, being intentional and focusing on the five senses —hearing, touch, sight, smell, and taste—you will learn to immerse yourself fully in the routine activities. Towards the end, you will be invited to choose a daily chore, like mopping the floor or typing, & pay close attention to sensory details you usually overlook. This lesson aims to shift focus from merely completing tasks to fully experiencing each moment as it unfolds, as you do these tasks.

Lección 11: Storytime: The End

In this final lesson, you will be treated to a whimsical story featuring inanimate kitchen objects—Luna the coffee bean, Aqua the water, Velvet the mug, and Claire the sugar bowl—each reflecting on their purpose and shared journey. The story serves as a metaphor for finding wonder, joy, and beauty in everyday life. The course ends with an invitation to continue your journey with my other mindfulness courses.
