Present Moment Awareness
Some exercises naturally incorporate present moment awareness, including what arises internally. You may shift between what is noticed internally and externally. The rationale from an ACT perspective is to notice anxiety, notice where it isn’t felt, and notice sounds in the room or other external information. It doesn’t function as a distraction from anxiety, but develops taking perspectives. This is flexible attention, which ties into self-as-context.
