Just for today,

Pay attention.

Pay attention to how you are feeling right now.

Pay attention to the source of these particular feelings.

Muse on what sorts of feelings you would like to have.

Then sit with these new feelings for a while.

Just for today,

Pay attention to your thoughts.

Are they inside your head,

Or perhaps outside?

Pay attention too,

To who is speaking these thoughts,

And who is listening to them.

Just for today,

Pay attention to your doings.

What are you planning to do today?

How do you plan to go about it?

How would you like your day to end up?

Just for today,

Pay attention to the needs of others.

Make sure first that your feelings and thoughts are pure,

And that your doings will still get done while helping others.

If you can,

Attend to the needs of others so they are oblivious to your interventions.

Just for today,

Pay attention to the health of the planet.

Be ecological in your energy usage.

Be mindful of your consumption of materials.

Where possible,

Recycle and upcycle.

Just for today,

Pay attention to your evolution.

Each day be sure to learn something new,

And to connect with a new soul,

Or reconnect with an old acquaintance.

If you can,

Share your experience and wisdom with others.

Just for today,

Pay attention to signs,

Especially any signs that get repeated,

And those that appear at the corner of your gaze.

Ask who sent them,

And for what purpose.

Just for today,

Pay attention to serendipities,

Especially those that come out of the blue.

See them as gifts from your soul.

Thank them when they come along.

Just for today,

Pay attention to what grabs your attention.

Are you drawn to external events?

Are those around you diverting your attention?

In your dreams,

Meditations and daydreams,

Who or what is popping in?

And just for today,

Pay attention to your blessings.

Be thankful for being alive on Spaceship Earth.

Be thankful too,

To the kind souls at Insight Timer,

Who make listening to this even possible.

Perfect start to the day . Was really able to take on board what was said and feel uplifted .

Wonderful. How do I connect to new souls? In fact how do I connect to my souls? I am so glad I found insight timer and your wonderful meaningful meditations. Namaste. 🙏

Tom, thanks for your musings and reminders. I appreciate you!

I love Tom’s meditations. All the little seeds he drops are very thought provoking. I love starting my day with them. They help guide me into a wonderful day. 🙏❣️

If we fail to pay attention, we'll fail to notice anything important and beautiful. Thank you 🙏🙏

This was brilliant and wonderfully soothing. Thank you Tom!

This was for me. Thank you ever so much, your caption caught my attention right away. Again thank you, and carry on.

This was a home run hit out of the park for me Tom. It encapsulates all of the important elements in a life well lived. I especially liked the fact that you included insight timer in this guidance…. This app and people like you has changed my life🙏✌️💞Namaste brother

This was in my recommendations this morning. I'm glad I played it. Thank you, Tom, for your thought-provoking meditation. I really enjoyed it.

This was especially helpful for me today to be guided through some things to consider as I enter into this new day. I’ve been doing a lot of quiet and sound meditation lately, and I’m “paying attention” to why I felt guided to this at this particular time. It was Good! Thank you 🙏

I love how thought-provoking your meditations are. Thank you.

Thank you. Calm, gentle voice and words to begin a new day. 💕🔆🙏🎊

Just what I think I needed today. Today I will slow down and be deliberate in my actions.

Tom is one of my go to teachers. Loved this new meditation. Simple ideas to bring so much value to our days. Thanks Tom.

Love this Tom!

Sweet Energy ❤️🙏❤️🙏
