Reclaiming Your Attention to Focus on What Matters

Описание: Reclaiming Your Attention is essentially reclaiming your power. Many of us feel overwhelmed by all the things that need attention and this is by design. By examining how media and technology shape our attention, and by practicing strategies to ground ourselves in mindfulness and intentional focus, we can shift from being scattered and depleted to feeling aligned and resourced. From that place, we’re better prepared to take meaningful action in our lives.


In this episode of Mindset Unlimited, I share some insights and tips for reclaiming your attention to focus on what matters, even when you’re overwhelmed.


Some of what I explore in this episode includes:

• Understanding Attention and who’s driving it
• Parenting in an age of social media
• Shifting out of performance and into connection
• What to do to support aligned empowerment
