- Stop what you're doing and make contact with the present moment. Notice five things you see, four things you hear, and three things you feel.

- Accept whatever is happening in your experience by making room for your feelings. Keep your eye on the bigger picture.
- Practice connecting to the observing self throughout each day. It is the context in which content arises.
