what the other is saying. Be
curious about the difference.
Let the difference stand.

9. Reflection on Noticing
Pair up with a partner.
Discuss your day, yesterday, with your partner:
– What events occurred?
– Who did you meet?
– What did you notice about your physical
surroundings?
– What did you notice about your thoughts &
feelings?
– What did you notice about others thoughts &
feelings around you?
Without judging yourself, on a scale of 1 (noticed
little) to 10 (noticed everything), how much did you
notice yesterday (today)?

11. Centrality of Noticing to Change
The range of what we
think and do is limited by
what we fail to notice.
And because we fail to
notice that we fail to
notice, there is little we
can do to change; until
we notice how failing to
notice shapes our
thoughts and deeds.

15. Noticing Your Mini-Me Enhances Noticing
• Interesting thing
supported by modern
neuroscience.
• Noticing your noticer
enhances your power
to notice.
• Your mini-me is a
mental muscle.
• Exercise it and it gets
stronger.
© 2015 David E. Goldberg

16. This Is Why Meditation Works
Gets you out of your
story & engages your
mini-me.
Start a meditative/pause
practice  become a
better noticer (more
mindful).
Become more aware &
self-aware more of the
time.
© 2015 David E. Goldberg

17. Exercise: Pause Practice
• Close eyes.
• Take 3 deep
breaths.
• Notice your
emotional-
mental state.
