Connect
Connection is powerful. Connect with the present and what is important. Reflect on the past. Connect with others. You can do this by noticing using deep listening or mindful awareness.
There are times in the day when things are going well - we may be very focused and connected to what we are doing in those moments. 
Sometimes we may be interrupted by:
Our internal processes - thoughts, feelings, memories, sensations, urges.
Our environment - everything around us.
Focus on what is important and what you are doing right now, stay engaged in the present as best as you can, do what matters to you.

By practicing these skills often, you can reach out and connect to community, culture and country. Listen to yourself, notice your experiences so you have a choice in how to grow. Heal when you are ready. Reflect on the past and plan for the future when the time is right.
We all have the power to redirect our attention to what we are doing, to give us clarity and the focus to do what gives us meaning in life, moment by moment.
You are like the sky – all embracing and constant whilst at the same time ever-changing like the stars and everything on country.
