Choose where to place your attention · S4.8

Pick an optional attention anchor

You want a simple reminder of where to place attention.

Everyday practice

Try these steps

1. Choose a neutral object, sound, or visible detail you can access comfortably.
2. Describe one feature without needing to feel calmer.
3. Use it briefly or leave it alone, then choose your next action.

An example

I notice the shape of the bookmark before returning to reading.

Reflect

Was the anchor useful, neutral, or distracting?

Next time

Change the anchor or skip it based on your experience.
