Q: Part of being more observant is being aware of what your body is telling you. This can't always be described in a logical fashion it just means listening to your gut. Do you feel like you've walked into an awkward situation but you don't know why? Do you suddenly feel danger when you're on your way to your car? Chances are, your instincts are right, and you should listen to what you feel internally, even if you can't quite explain why. Many people aren't observant because they ignore anything that they can't clearly see or prove. You may have a sense that you are in danger don't ignore it just because you can't see the bad guy. Another part of being observant is being able to know yourself and to be aware of who you are, how you act, and how you come off. This doesn't mean that you should obsess over yourself, but it does mean that you should have a sense of the kind of energy you give off; do people see you as shy, outgoing, friendly, or mysterious? Knowing yourself first will help you observe others and have a better sense of what's going on in the world. This is something that you'll have to do to shift your focus outward. A lot of people aren't observant because they're so self-conscious that they're busy worrying about how they look or project themselves in every possible interaction. If you're always thinking about your own every move, then how will you be able to really notice something about your friends, teachers, or colleagues? It's important to be self-aware, but if you cross the line over to being self-obsessed, then you'll miss off on many key observations. Check yourself the next time you talk to a new friend. Are you worrying about what to say or do next the whole time, or are you too busy listening to what the friend has to say to really care about yourself? Though you shouldn't ask yourself so many questions that you're not living in the moment, you should keep your mind active when you're observing something so you have the best sense of what's going on. Ask yourself, how is this person really feeling? What is the difference between what he is saying and what he is really feeling? How many people in this room are in a good mood? How many people are wearing black? Keep your mind busy and keep prodding yourself to discover what's really happening in a situation. As you practice your observational skills, you'll be able to keep questioning the situation while paying complete attention. At first, switching to this inquisitive mode of thinking can be a little bit distracting.
A: Listen to your gut. Become more self-aware. Pay more attention to others than yourself. Ask yourself questions.

Q: If you using two vices, consider places the pages between two boards or catalogues. If you are using a flower press, make sure that the spine is sticking out past the edge of the press by about to inch (0.64 to 1.27 centimeters). Use a brush to coat the entire spine with glue, from edge-to-edge, top-to-bottom. Book binding glue will work the best, but if you can't find any, ordinary pva glue (ie: white glue or carpenter's glue) will also work. Cut a piece of ribbon that's twice the length of the spine. Place it down the center of the spine. Make sure that the bottom end of the ribbon is to 1 inch (1.27 to 2.54 centimeters) from the bottom end of the spine. Coat the spine again with more glue to seal the ribbon in. The fabric needs to be 1 inch (2.54 centimeters) shorter than the spine and three times the width. Plain, cotton fabric will work the best for this. Coat the fabric with your glue, then coat the spine with more glue. Place the fabric over the spine, with inch (1.27 centimeters) of space on the top and bottom. Fold the side edges of the fabric down onto the first and last page of the book. Clamp the spine together until the glue dries. Choose a durable paper, such as cardstock. You will be using this paper to secure the pages to the actual book. Unclamp the book, then turn it so that the front is facing you. Coat the fabric on the front with glue, then press the first sheet of paper into it. Repeat this step for the back. Clamp the spine again until it dries.
A:
Clamp the pages between two vices or a flower press. Paint glue across the back of the spine. Add a ribbon bookmark, if desired. Cut a strip of fabric for the spine.
