After a very busy weekend, I'm spending this evening relaxing, unwinding. In navigating through the frenzy, it helps greatly to stay in the present - to stay focused on what is happening now - and to be aware of what it feels like to be pulled away from the present and to have the tools - such as conscious awareness of breath - to come back.
The sounds around me are the regular tick of a clock across the room, the hum of the drier running downstairs, a different hum from far off machinery someplace outside, and the wet-tire sound from cars going past now and then. Listening to sounds is a good technique to relax and draw inward, a good way to unwind.
