Notice the present or join an activity · D3.3

Participate in one chosen activity

You want to be more involved in an ordinary activity instead of evaluating yourself throughout it.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose an activity you want to join and a manageable level of participation.
2. Place attention on the next actual part of the activity, such as the current instruction, movement, or turn.
3. When evaluation or distraction appears, choose whether to return to the activity, adapt your role, or stop.

An example

During a board game, I focus on my next turn rather than judging whether I am entertaining enough.

Reflect

What helped you participate at a level that suited you?

Next time

Adjust the activity or role rather than demanding uninterrupted attention.
