Attention… is wonderful. Right? Who doesn’t love it. Research on this website shows that on the day I complimented everyone on FB my ratings went sky high on this site.
Attention is the invisible gold and it grows once you share it.
People joke about talking to plants, but a research with three plants during one month provided some exceptional results. Three plants were watered every day. One plant got the words “I love you” with the water. One plant was ignored, the third one got “I hate you” See the amazing result. The plant who was loved does seem to be extremely healthy. .
If this has so much effect on plants, what will the effect be on people? Attention must be a growing stimulator. We all need it. The Maslov Pyramid shows the need for attention in two layers.
In the old days there were three rules for taking care of our children.. Rest, Structure and Hygiene. I think we may want to change those three rules in the three A’s. Attention, Affection and Appreciation.
I love research and challenges. Let me see what attention does for a week. If I take one subject and love it on a daily basis, one subject will be totally ignored and one subject will be hated. I’m curious about the results 🙂
