When I was in elementary school and just learning how to read, I remember books featured phrases that broke down simple actions to their essence. “See Dick run.”  “See Jane laugh.”  The simplicity of these statements seem almost comical now, yet there’s great lesson here in fixing your mind on exactly what you perceive. We can apply the principles of “Stop. Look. Listen” to so many things.  Think of a moment you experienced recently. Maybe you were making dinner or returning a phone call. What were you aware of taking place? What were the details of your surroundings? What were you thinking?  Write down the essence of this moment..
