attention – NOT YOUR DOC

EVEN BEFORE SOCIAL MEDIA, BUT ESPECIALLY SINCE EASY ACCESS TO MANY TYPES OF AUDITORY AND VISUAL DISTRACTIONS, MANY OF US ARE AFRAID OF MISSING OUT ON EVENTS HAPPENING AROUND US, AND EVENTS HAPPENING WITHOUT US. THIS IS AN ESPECIALLY ACUTE PROBLEM WHEN WE TRY TO PAY ATTENTION, FOCUS, AND CONCENTRATE ON THE TASKS AT HAND.

AT CASEY JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL, OUR P.E. TEACHER HAD A THICK MUSTACHE THAT DRAPED OVER HIS LIPS. WE, TALKATIVE 7th AND 8th GRADERS, COULD NEVER HEAR OR SEE OUR P.E. TEACHER START TALKING, UNLESS WE STOPPED TALKING. GENIUS!

CHECK OURSELVES…IF WE HAVE A HARD TIME SITTING STILL IN ORDER TO HAVE FOCUSED ATTENTION FOR 30 MINUTES, WITHOUT MUSIC OR BACKGROUND SCREENS RUNNING, THEN WE NEED TO TAKE A SERIOUS LOOK AT WHAT IS HAPPENING IN OUR LIVES AND IN OUR MINDS.

SELF LOVE IS GIVING ONE’S SELF FORGIVENESS, CARING, ATTENTION, AND LEEWAY (to try, fail, try again). THIS IS THE EXACT SAME LOVE WE SELFLESSLY HAVE FOR OUR OWN CHILDREN.
