Why It Takes 23 Minutes to Refocus: Overcome Distraction & Stay Present

Are you in a river going downstream through the rapids, or in a calm lake where you can breathe and just be still? In this episode, Ryan Reichert and Lisa Sander talk about the world of distractions and the importance of being fully present right where you are and with the people God has placed in your life. They share insights from a study showing it takes 23 minutes to refocus after being distracted, what it truly means to focus, and how to fight our own inner battle for purpose. Ryan and Lisa also remind us to teach our kids through calmness, invest our time in what truly matters, and have the courage to say no when it protects our peace.
