In This Human Moment: Stories about noticing
For today, practice acknowledging your reality as it actually is, not as you fear it or wish it to be. Do so by naming what it is you’re feeling: sadness, tenderness, blankness, wishing. And then identify what is happening in the moment: washing dishes, working, listening, teaching. Remove the filter of your feelings, and give your full attention to what you are doing, focus on who will benefit, how your role is helpful or supportive of others.
