miru miru
A daily practice of attention.
Every day at 11:00, miru miru sends one small mission — a quiet prompt to look somewhere specific, and actually see what's there.
見る / みるみる
見る (miru) means to see. Say it twice — みるみる — and in Japanese it becomes an expression for something happening visibly, right before your eyes, faster than you’d expect.
That’s the idea. Pay attention, and you come back to the present — the noise in your head quiets, and the world in front of you gets a little more real.
I made miru miru in an attempt to regain my attention. I felt too overwhelmed by feeds and content competing for it — and wanted to try being more present in the actual world around me.
I’d been thinking about presence and attention for some time, when I came across The Art of Noticing course by Rob Walker on the Waking Up app — little exercises for noticing what’s around you, instead of drifting through on autopilot.
Inspired by this, I’ve come up with this little project — miru miru, a tiny mission each day to start seeing, and look away from the inner monologue, or that goddamn endless online chatter.
