Practice Presence with Pleasures
- Use pleasurable activities like taking a warm shower to practice present-moment awareness.
- When your mind drifts, gently acknowledge it and return focus to the sensory experience of the activity.
Five Things Exercise for Presence
- Practice the "five things exercise" by noticing five things you can see, four you can hear, and sensations you can feel.
- Expand your sensory awareness to anchor attention in the present moment and reduce mental noise.

- The observing self can step back and watch all our mental experiences like an audience watching a stage show.
- This pure awareness is distinct from the thinking self and enables noticing without judgment.
