How do you improve your observation skills?

You can improve your observation skills by increasing your awareness, improving your memory and engaging your senses. Here are more details on those steps:

• Increasing your awareness. One way to increase your awareness is by taking time out of each day to stop and observe your surroundings. Pay attention to as many details as you can and make sure you focus on the small details as well as the big ones. Take note of the people, the animals, the trees, and the buildings.

• Improving your memory. Playing brain games on your phone or computer can help improve your memory. Card matching games are also an easy way to strengthen your observation and memory. Starting at art or a set of objects and then later trying to recall the details are another way to improve your memory.

• Engaging your senses. One way to engage your senses is by meditating. While meditating, focus on the sensations around you, what you hear, what you feel, what you smell. Slowing down and savoring your food is a great way to engage your sense of taste. Pause for a moment while chewing and take notice of the different flavors and textures
