You're looking for something to happen in a future. It's already here now.

That's why I say just sit & LOOK.

It does take patience.

Relax. You can't see if you're stressed.

Does it always have to be the butt? Does it matter if sometimes it’s my feet on the floor or back against the chair?

That's fine. Just you & something that you don't usually consider "you.."

But why do you need to change the pointer?

I don’t need to change it. It’s just sometimes easier to focus on different parts of my body. And there’s absolutely nothing else I need to do? Just focus on there being no division between my body and contact with things?

Ok one last thing. You said that a stressful situation with a person you wanted to date brought you down and got in the way of seeing. There are more than a few things in my life that make me sad on a daily basis- mainly bitter memories from childhood. Could this be a problem?

Yes, maybe.

I suggest questioni your thinking using The Work of Byron Katie.
