It is easy not to pay attention to the world. We lower our eyes when walking and avoid visual communication in markets. For most of us, our natural state tends to ignore what is going on around us. But this makes us miss ourselves inspiration and fail to develop our curiosity. Here's how to train yourself to pay more attention to the world around you.

It is known that going out and walking improves creativity and little vigilance can help in various things. But none of this will benefit you if you still insist on looking at your old. Being observant means watching people, attitudes, events, and then thinking critically about what you see. We miss a lot of ourselves in the world while we are busy messing around here and there. Although there is no way of determining how this affects our well-being, it is clear that the more you wake up, the more new ideas you bring, and even if you do not come up with new ideas, you will broaden your vision of the world. First, you must train yourself to pay attention and pay attention.
Our brains are not trained to see everything. We focus on specific things, then halves everything else. This is good in most cases, because if we pay attention to everything, we may lose what is important. But, with a little training and practice you can adjust your mind to pay attention to new things.
Whether you're starting a new job, exploring a new hobby, or just trying to expand your skill set, you need to re-train your brain to pay attention to what's important at that moment. This may seem simple, but it requires little effort.
It may not seem obvious that the best way to train yourself to notice more in the world is to know what to ignore. But this is the basic idea here. You can not pay attention to everything and observe everything, so decide what you want to look for training your eyes. When you do, you will of course come up with more ideas on any given topic
Observation is great, and the more you practice it the better. But they are much better when you become able to understand and distinguish patterns. Small notes help without a doubt, but they are not useful for creative or intellectual endeavors if you do not have a broader view of how the world works. Discovering patterns and blending them with your experience is what allows you to predict what will happen next. The more you notice the world and the more people you become the better at discovering patterns. And then become better at predicting what happens next.
For example, any time someone talks about reading body language, it will indicate that it is not something universal. You have to notice someone for a while, discover their individual traits, then form a hypothesis accordingly. If you do not notice, the notes will not work. A word may mean something to someone while it may mean something else entirely for another person, so you should look for style. A person may rub his nose when he tries to cheat while playing chess while scratching the nose in the case of someone else may mean he is angry.
The same applies to anything you see in the world. Watching the world is only the first step. It's hard to do anything with the information you gather before you assemble all the things together in something more interesting that there is a surveillance camera in the architecture you live in. But more interesting is that there are cameras in all the buildings in the neighborhood where you live. The more you notice, the more you ask why, the more you wonder why you learn the more useful observation, but the critical thinking that follows is what can help you come up with new ideas and learn more about the world around you.
