Reclaiming Your Attention to Focus on What Matters

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 itParenting in an age of social mediaShifting out of performance and into connectionWhat to do to support aligned empowermentThoughts or questions?Send me a voice memo: https://www.speakpipe.com/MindsetUnlimited LINKS TO REFERENCES MADE IN THIS EPISODE:5 Steps to Shift Habits of Perfectionism & People Pleasing with Beatriz Victoria AlbinaResponsive Practices to Create a Supportive Relationship with Your Teen with Donna Lynne BooherEmpathy Isn’t the ProblemCult of Personality – Living ColourThe Social Dilemma – Netflix Documentary Stolen Focus: Why You Can’t Pay Attention – And How to Think Deeply Again – by Johann HariFrederic Joseph – The Death of Social in Social Media Britannica - AttentionNPR - Nihilistic Online Networks Groom Minors to Commit HarmThis Will Hold - Groyper and Steve Bannon’s Online Machine to Radicalize BoysTherapy Jeff – Parents of White Boys, Don’t Want Your Kid Radicalized Online?
