I squeeze myself into a subway car.
People are crowded all around me.
I can either get annoyed
or think it’s fun that I don’t have to grab a handrail.
People react differently to the same situation.
If we look at it more closely,
we see it’s not the situation that is troubling us,
but our perspective on it.

Ask a Connection Question!
What was your most embarrassing moment?
What superpower would you want?
What are three things you and the person you’re talking to appear to have in common?
What is your most treasured memory? What is your most terrible memory?
What’s bringing you joy these days?
Is there something you’ve dreamed of doing for a long time? Why haven’t you done it?
Before making a telephone call, do you ever rehearse what you’re going to say?
For what in your life do you feel most grateful?
If you could change anything about the way that you were raised, what would it be?

Mindfulness and Acceptance
![Page 17: Taking Care of Ourselves](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013001/61ca34a67cdf5f20cc4a77fc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
“Mindfulness is awareness that arises through paying attention, on purpose, in the present moment, and non-judgmentally.”
Mindfulness is “a nonelaborative, nonjudgmental, present-centered awareness in which each thought, feeling, sensation that arises ... is acknowledged and accepted as it is.”

Gratitude
![Page 20: Taking Care of Ourselves](https://reader030.fdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022013001/61ca34a67cdf5f20cc4a77fc/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
The more grateful we feel, the happier we become.
This is because gratitude helps us realize
we are all connected.
Nobody feels like an island when feeling grateful.
Gratitude awakens us to the truth of our
interdependent nature.

view.”
“Named must be your fear before banish it you can.”

Make believe that the world took the free advice you offered, what advice about
life would you offer?
