Noticing
Noticing is progress: The first time we notice a habit, a reaction, or a thought pattern, something important has already shifted. Much of our behaviour runs on autopilot. We interrupt people without realizing it. We check our phones without deciding to. We react before we’ve really listened. But the moment we notice, the autopilot flickers and we step half an inch outside the behaviour. That small gap is progress . Noticing again is mastery. Anyone can notice something once.
