3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
Get on with it, keep grounded and see what happens is the philosophy with which I approach today, as life subtly slips into a new phase. A principle I learned from Sharon Janis is to live on many levels at once, from the Universe right down to the role of Gary Blonder that I'm playing.

This involves keeping your attention in the right places, summed up as:
Breath
Intention
Gratitude
This moment

A consequence of these focal points is economy of thought, and increased awareness of being - living rather than just thinking about it.

4. TODAY'S QUESTION FOR YOU
Is what you're thinking about actually helping you?
