As you read this do something unusual.

STOP AND PAY ATTENTION. Can you hear your breath? Does it sound heavy or light?

STOP AND PAY ATTENTION. Can you hear the sounds around you? Are they constant or changing? Can you allow yourself these few moments of connection with the tapestry of sound around you?

STOP AND NOTICE. Where is your mind right now? Are you aware if it is in the future or in the past, or perhaps just commenting on these words. Is your mind convincing you to skip over doing this and get to the important part… WELL THIS IS IT!
