Attention and Focus

Attention and Focus

 

Attention is an executive skill that can be developed. 

Our brains can be trained to pay attention to one thing at a time.

Paying attention to one thing in the present moment takes practice. 

Success or failure should not be based on your perception of slowing your thoughts. 

Just Practice.
