Going to an art museum and not looking at art sounds weird to you? What if I told you to look at doors, corners, fire extinguishers, sprinkles, hooks, bolts, or even dust instead? Or listen to what others are saying. Or maybe think of what art you would buy, burn or steal. Noticing things that others often overlook can actually help you train your attention, spark curiosity, bring novelty into mundane things, and become more present in a moment. So that was exactly what I did - I went to the National Gallery of Canada and looked for... lines, shapes and patterns. And you know what - it was a pretty unusual yet quite enjoyable experience. It also helped distract my mind from the war that is still going on in my home country - Ukraine.
