The Start of the Hike

I have wanted to write a book for a long time and I am frequently thinking of great book titles and ideas but I don't get much further than that. This is my attempt at breaking that pattern and see how far I can go with this idea: Developing the Sixth Sense: Awareness. The feeling of someone watching you, the ability to sense when someone is about to say something, I think these are manifestations of another sense!

I'm going to work through an outline because I want to do this properly. I'm thinking through the chapters and this is what I've come up with so far:
Chapter 1: Close Your Eyes (importance of sleep to boost awareness during the day)
Chapter 2: Open Your Eyes (importance of actively observing surroundings)
Chapter 3: Close Your Mouth (importance of listening more to absorb more information)
Chapter 4: Open Your Mind (listen to opinions without judgment, heighten cultural awareness through interaction with people of various races and ethnicities)
Chapter 5: Close Your Computer (occasionally if wasting time, to go out and experience the world in real-time),
Chapter 6: Open Your Heart (to see the beauty and intrigue in everyday life, despite its sometimes commonplace appearance)

I have recognized that I really enjoy books that give gems of information without dragging on about the same point. I also respect authors who take the time to do their research and incorporate other opinions and experiences, so this is what I'll do also.

If you have any feedback as you read subsequent posts, please feel free to let me know how it strikes you!
Love, Courtney Annette Carter
