Pay attention, be aware of your needs and habits.

In an earlier video on Facebook at facebook.com/FiveChanges we gave a basic hint
that will help you stay focused, specifically to keep your gaze directed upwards.

Make it a habit.

Stay in touch with your body, emotions, and anything else that comes into your awareness.

You probably know this already .. so think of this as a serendipitous reminder.
