Do you miss everything else that happened in your surrounding just because you are very focused on one thing? See detail.

Yes, sometimes I am like that.

Oh I got that beat, i’m not observant at all.
I could be driving, out walking the dog, or on one of my runs & i’ll be like…“who put that tree there?”

I love the feeling that goes along with being mindful during an activity I enjoy.
I’ve had many conversations about that very thing with others who are involved in art especially.
I am an observant person and can put all that energy into concentrating on my work and when I am in my head,my home could probably burn down around me & I would not notice .Lol

Same as @lucillelucillelucille.

Guess we’d have a bunch of burnt houses but really awesome art pieces! :D

We have no idea how much we miss by focusing hard on one thing. It’s kind of like running a red light. You don’t know you ran it because if you’d known it was there you wouldn’t have run ot.

@raum- So worth it! XD

A piece that’s worthy of burning your house down? That’s a lot of pressure, man.

Rarely do I miss anything. I stay in the yellow zone of awareness.

@raum -My home should suffer for my art. XD

Ha!

You only think you do @Castle.

@Dutchess_lll what do you mean?

@Castle See this video.. Fascinating.

@Dutchess_III very neat video! I did count 15 passes and noticed the gorilla. Like I said, rarely do I miss anything. I’m paid to notice everything, it’s my job.

It’s nice when they give the answers at the end, too.
