Every practice in the library, in one list. Narrow it by how long you have, who it is written for, and where you are right now.
Give your spouse a few minutes of your full, undistracted attention today.
Not half-present behind a screen. Turned toward, eyes up, entirely here for a moment.
Answer one bid for closeness today that you might have let pass.
The come see this, the small touch, the story. Turn toward it, do not scroll past it.
Send your spouse one reaching message in the middle of the day, for no reason.
Thinking of you. A small signal across the hours that says you are on my mind.
Answer the small bid today: the passing comment is really a reach for your attention.
Look up, turn toward, respond. The weather remark is not about the weather.
Catch one bid you would normally miss today, a sigh, a pause, a look, and respond to it.
Many reaches are quiet. Tune to the small signals and turn toward one you would have passed.
When your spouse speaks to you today, put the phone down and give your whole face.
Looking for a whole subject rather than a single practice? Start from the nine areas.
Divided attention says you are second. Undivided attention, even for a minute, says you are first.
