It can be new way to live our daily life if we can be a little aware of what is happening around us,physical surroundings such as tress/interior of room/ looking from the window as well as psychological feelings, mood swings going within us. Just observe these changes: how we react to feeling of envy, pleasure, anger, ups and down in our moods, without justifying or analyzing without being judgmental and not controlling or suppressing even remotely, not creating any moral police or super cop.
What is attention then?. You are inattentive being lost in day dreaming, mind weaving a tapestry of thoughts from some incidents of past or future events and then you realize this state of mind that is the beginning of attention. So attention is to be aware about your state of inattention.
If this can happen we may get some understanding of structure of our mind and see the gap between two thoughts and that is the first step towards meditation. Being aware may help us to quieten our minds in natural way without suppression of thoughts but seeing the necessity or futility of thoughts in our life. Where thoughts are required to be used and where it needs to stop by understanding.
