You are in a dark room. You have a flashlight. The flashlight can represent your focus. Reflection Question #1: Consider the many thoughts, ideas, and memories you could focus on within your mind space. One could also use the word ‘spotlight’. The same concept of focus can be external in the physical space with the light on. Consider the many objects, shapes, and colors one can focus on. The practice here is to notice what it means to focus. Can you consider the absence of focus? It would be maddening. Another practice could be to imagine capturing a thought or idea, or ‘lasso’ one’s focus. The social-emotional curriculum goZen! by Renee Jain has an image of a net to capture a thought.

What would this look like, feel like, sound like?
