Quick takeaways

  • Connection can be practiced through activities like showering, paying attention to sensations, and avoiding distractions, while mindfulness can be strengthened through engaging in pleasurable activities with full attention.
  • The observing self is the part of us that can step back and observe our thoughts, feelings, and actions without getting caught up in them, cultivating awareness of this observing self can help in practices like diffusion and connection, values guide our behavior now and as we pursue our goals, and committed action involves taking small steps aligned with our values.

Deep dives

Connection and Mindfulness

Connection refers to being fully present in the current moment and engaging with openness and curiosity. It involves avoiding getting caught up in thoughts and distractions. This can be practiced through activities like showering, where you pay close attention to the feeling of water on your body and the sound of the water. Mindfulness is a related concept but can have misconceptions attached to it. Engaging in pleasurable activities with full attention can help strengthen the ability to connect.
