| * You're outside, maybe walking your dog, or sitting in your backyard. It's a regular part of your day.
| | {{:Use Sounds to be Present}} |
| * As you're enjoying your surroundings, let your mind wander freely. Let it daydream.
| |
| * Amidst the daydreaming, bring your attention to the sounds around you.
| |
| * The distant sound of traffic, the rustling leaves, the birds singing - tune into one of these sounds, whichever one you like.
| |
| * Each time a particular sound catches your attention, let it pull you out of your daydream, anchoring you back to reality.
| |
| * Acknowledge the thought or daydream that was interrupted by the sound, let it go, then return to listening.
| |
| * Continue this practice of allowing sounds to interrupt your daydreams, noting the shift in your attention.
| |
| * Reflect on how the sounds around you can serve as tools to bring you back to the present moment.
| |
| * Incorporate this practice into your regular outdoor time to cultivate the habit of using sounds as anchors to reality.
