Personal development: Increasing your awareness

As a result of doing this questionnaire you may want to develop your awareness of some of your

senses. One of the simplest ways to do this is as follows:

1 Choose the sense for which you would like to raise your awareness.

2 Choose a time of day (it need not be more than 30 minutes) when your role is less significant and you

can direct some of your attention to how you are doing what you are doing.

3 Program yourself with the question “What am I seeing/hearing/feeling/tasting/smelling?” (Choose

whichever one you want to concentrate on.) If it helps, write the question down so that you have it in

front of you for that time. If you are working at a computer you could put it as the screensaver.

4 Do this as many times as you want to until you recognize that you are unconsciously being aware of

this sense. You could do the questionnaire again after three or four weeks to see if your scores have

changed for this particular sense.

5Now repeat the process for another sense.
