The good ol' Litany of Gendlin:

"What is true is already so. Owning up to it doesn’t make it worse."

For my sapience spell, I have chosen a ring with the face of a gorgon (the same creature as medusa) on it. When I notice it, I look at it in the eyes and internally say, 'slow down', I take a breath, then ask 'what is my task?'. Maintaining eye contact with the eyes of the gorgon, I tell myself what my current task is, and what I plan to do next. I then say 'roger that' and move forward.
