Meet the Now

Look as if seeing it for the first time.
First, have your notebook ready and do the grounding exercise .
Train your attention to reach outward. Give each movement more time than usual.
Choose an object around you.
Open yourself to the impressions the object makes on you.
Direct your attention toward the object.
Look as though you are seeing it for the first time.
Keep looking until you notice something you have never seen in it before.
Trace an imaginary outline around the object with your gaze.
Name the object with the most neutral word you know.
Release the object and notice where your attention is now.
