There is something much deeper about "just notice" than just noticing. After reading this I believe this will take more practice for me and my fellow procrastinators 💬

I think one thing that's really tricky about noticing is that you notice the *shit* as well. And that doesn't feel good, so we tend to just blast through life on rocket speed, hoping to just ignore/downplay everything... everything from shitty emotions we don't "like" to situations in the world we don't like. Noticing requires courage.

Loved your thought process and explanation of conscious awareness. Lots of gold in here. Overthinking, under-feeling was SUCH a great way to put it!!

You know me, always overthinking and underfeeling. It's easier to philosophize on what oneself is dealing with ;)
