How do I become more mentally aware of things?

What kind of things are you interested in becoming more aware of?
human
I'm bad at paying attention to detail.  I want to be better at that.

What kinds of things are you not paying attention to?  Are you not paying attention to your own goals? Are you not paying attention to the details of something you're working on?

Something I am working on.  I proofread as a job, I am missing mistakes.  Do you have any tips?

Try to slow down and really think through the task you are working on.  Be very conscious of your reading process.  Read a passage twice, and make sure you understand it the first time.  Read a sentence a few times, until you're confident you understand what it says.  Then when you get to the next sentence, verify that you understand the previous sentence, before moving on.  This will help you stay more mindful and alert as you work.

That's good advice.  I will try it and see if it works.

You might also try taking a short "mental break" from reading, and then coming back to it.  This can help you get re-focused on what you're doing.
