Let go of expectations.

Applied Awareness

Soften Soothe Allow

During the week, when you encounter a mildly or moderately difficult experience, use this practice.

Relate to discomfort with awareness and care, rather than resistance.

  1. What was the situation? Where were you? What were you doing?

  2. What did you notice before using Soften, Soothe, Allow?

  3. What did you notice during the experience?

  4. What did you learn?

  5. What are you noticing now as you reflect?
