Touching the feelings
- Open and receptive
- let go of the illusion of control, go with the flow
- Being in the present, noticing yourself and what is around you
- Seize the moment – values, priorities, fear
- Moving from how things should be to how things are – “being”
- Goals nearer to now, not distant
- What is the real problem, whose problem is it anyway?

- Making the present perfect
- Pairs: one thing about your life you don’t like – what’s perfect about that, what’s not perfect about that
- About being responsible for my feelings
- Awareness of feelings
- Acknowledge feelings – don’t need to act on it
