Week 4: Chapter 3 — Pay Attention to Right Now

1.Freeman calls attention to the way anxiety about the future or regret about the past can pull us out of the present moment — and out of the place where God actually meets us. Which direction does your mind most often drift: toward the future or toward the past?

2.She draws on the spiritual discipline of attentiveness — of noticing what is actually happening in your body, your emotions, and your surroundings as a way of practicing presence. What are the things in your typical day that most pull your attention away from the present?

3.Freeman connects 'paying attention to right now' with the concept of the next right thing — you can only take the next step from where you actually are, not from where you wish you were or fear you might be. How does this reframe a decision you're currently overthinking?
