Mindful Online………………………………………………………..Need Help Now

What’s Your Attention Focusing Score?

• Understand your goals and priorities and ask yourself at regular intervals whether your current activity serves your higher priority.

• Notice when your attention has wandered, and then gently bringing it back to focus on your highest priority

• Sometimes in order to learn or deepen relationships -- exploring from link to link is permissible – and important. Don’t make attention training so rigid that it destroys flow.
