Creamy clouds dissipate to reveal sparkling waves. Makeshift linen dresses. Vineyard horizons. Tangerine colored terraces overlook the marble sand. Salty hair. Fresh strawberries. Sun-spotted hands.
And we pause for a moment.
If you stare at the sand for a while, tiny grains of sand fall from their mounds. Out of nowhere there’s a change—unnoticeable to the naked eye. As life imitates art, I began to ponder…
What types of subtle changes in my life go unnoticed?
It’s easy to overlook day-to-day changes. But over time, many things have changed.
Some subtle changes I can reflect and recall include:
- Better stress management (thank you to 8 months of daily meditation)
- Improved proficiency at my job
- Not trying to control things I can’t control
- Less worrying and stressing about the future
- Less worrying about what others think about me (still a work in progress)
- Acquiring new passions and leaving old ones behind
- Standing up for myself more, et cetera.
What in your life has changed that has gone unnoticed?
