Many have become disconnected from their senses. While your intelligence, creativity, and motivation shape your beliefs, it is your perception that provides information for these faculties to process. Take a moment each day to consciously absorb your surroundings. Attend to the sound of your breath, the creaking of your joints, the sensation of contracting your fingers. When you experience pain, pause and ponder the feeling. Observe your surroundings. And never forget that everyone is working with different information.
