Pay attention ...to what you are feeling, what you are sensing, and what you are thinking; to the sounds around you, the opening bud, the color of the autumn leaf; to the wind, the shrug of a shoulder, the taste and texture of your food. This kind of paying attention immerses you in life in a new way. If you pay attention at every moment, you form a new relationship to time. Your own absorption slows you down internally. That slowing down feeds your sense of deep appreciation and at the same time produces more energy. In some magical way, by slowing down you become more efficient, productive, energetic, focusing without distraction directly on the task in front of you. Not only do you become immersed in that moment; you become that moment.

Michael Ray & Rochelle Myers

Creativity in Business, [1986] "Pay Attention"
