Attention is the most threatened resource on the planet today. It is being misused and abused more than ever before. This generation is not just witnessing a growing trend of busyness, stress, and negativity. Something more significant is happening. For many, distraction and disconnection are robbing life of its colour and meaning. Studies suggest many of us are spending 47% of our time distracted, doing one thing but thinking about something else. If you've ever driven somewhere but have no recollection of the journey, you know the feeling. But it's making us unhappier, unproductive, uncaring and unfulfilled. Attention is a precious gift. If you're ready to reclaim the vibrancy of a full life, then you're ready to revive the dying art of paying attention. It takes just one moment, please.
