The Only Thing That You Can Do is Right Now

The only time you ever have to Notice is right now. You don't have to make a commitment to Notice "from now on" or to Notice whenever you are driving to work etc. None of that. Also, it doesn't matter how long it's been since the last time you Noticed; a minute, a week, a year...Truly, they're all the same. The one and only thing you ever have to do is take this precise moment to simply ask yourself:"Am I Noticing right now?" Then, if you know how to Notice, the question starts a chain-reaction in you that leads to all the amazing benefits that Mr. Alexander discovered.

Remembering this will make your Alexander life a lot easier because it takes all the pressure off, not to mention removing the guilt. There is no pressure to Notice all the time, all you have to do is Notice now. It doesn't matter that you completely forgot to Notice when you did your audition yesterday, All you have to do is Notice right now.

Doing this eliminates all the "shoulds" and "should haves". This is true even in the case where one second after you start Noticing you stop Noticing without realizing it. The moment you do realize it, even if it's a day, a week or a month later, all you have to do is take a second to ask yourself: "Am I noticing right now?" Then, if you can do that, you're as good as gold because just asking the question gets you to Noticing again. And anytime you're Noticing neither the Future nor the Past can put the squeeze on you. It is the freedom to change; instant forgiveness.
