Hello and welcome. Let's dive right in…
This month I thought it would be timely to consider aspects of being in the moment and responding to what is vs. what we might like it to be instead. So often we tend to drift out of the present and wander into what used to be, what once was, what might be, what we hope for…
Sound familiar? I know that I catch myself doing this at odd moments throughout the day. However, when we're willing to stay present in the moment and navigate what's actually happening, getting from Point A to Point B can be a lot easier, smoother and even faster than when we choose to wander off into another time—which, in reality, doesn't exist
at all.
As an example, let's take one of those days when you're in the throes of a limited, scattered attention span. It can feel like it's impossible to accomplish any task(s) at all. You start something only to have it thwarted in some way: the very piece of info you need is elusive or even non-existent; various tech challenges surface; set appointments are
missed; you can't seem to put three coherent words together. In short, distractions rule the day.
Now ramp this up so each upset is surfacing in very short bursts of time, one right after or on top of the other—like some pesky gnat that won't leave you alone and won't let you fully concentrate on what needs your attention. How can you work with this energy instead of against it?
What do you do when you're faced with "Gnat Attention" (3:28)?
