How do you be a keen observer?

Answer 1

Observation is something that people are born with, but some of us forget the skill as we get older because we let ourselves be distracted by our own little worlds. Here are some good tips to help you learn how to observe better:

• Shut off the distractions - turn off your cellphone, computer, music, and anything else that's taking your attention away from what's going on around you
• Work the senses - shut your eyes for five minutes and concentrate only on what you can hear around you, then see what you can smell, what you can feel, and maybe even what you can taste. Then open your eyes again and really look at what's around you for five minutes.
• Try the Counting Game - see if you can find 10 things for each of your senses (well, except for taste - we don't want you going around licking stuff out in the real, dirty world!)
• Keep a journal - have a special place where your record observations that are especially important, like the first time you notice a rainbow or what sorts of birds you have seen and heard

The more you practice being mindful of the world around you, the better you will become!

Answer 2

Well first you want to bed and then think about what you heard, saw, felt, smelled, and tasted then the whole week you don't talk to anyone you just observe. When you are done with the week you drink five cups of coffe

Answer 3

Here are some good tips:

• Focus - you need to concentrate to be a good observer. The better attention you pay, the better your skills will get.
• Count Off - when you want to observe, name five things you can see, five things you can hear, five things you can smell, and five things you can feel
• Practice - work those memory puzzles where you look at a scene or a series of items and then try to remember as many items as you can without looking
• Concentrate (again) - pay close attention to your senses at all times, because that's how you get your observational information. Notice what your senses are telling you about the world around you and about your own body. This is called being mindful, and is an excellent way to live.
