It's not a new idea...taking a moment and noticing what is around you and within you. Just a moment to notice what you are sensing.

sight: J's drawing of a cat hanging on the wall above my computer.
sound: blue jays squawking in the backyard.
smell: water from the sprinkler on the front lawn.
taste: the lemon and lime flavor of diet 7-up.
touch: the soft fur of Giovanni as he rubs against my hand.

a can of diet 7-up because it was easier to get a photo of than the ever moving Giovanni...
