(1) Suggested actions to take this week

Option (A) for those ready to seize the moment, (B) in case you need to ease in a little.

(A) Between now and the end of the month, start to pay attention to the sensory details and emotions you experience, as if you were going to recount them to someone else.

(B) Between now and the end of the month, whenever you hear someone tell a story or describe an incident, start to pay attention to whether or not you feel engaged in their story and why that is. Notice whether or not they’re including describing their (or someone else’s) emotion or any sensory details.

If you feel moved to, ask them, “What did it look like?” and/or “How did you feel?” See how the answers change your feeling about the story, and maybe also about them.
