Your attention is constantly being pulled in different directions. Emails, notifications, thoughts, worries. Most of the time, you are not aware of where your attention actually is. Three times a day, pause and ask: where is my attention right now?
This simple check brings awareness. You might discover you are worrying about something that has not happened yet. Or scrolling mindlessly. Or thinking about work when you are supposed to be present with someone.
Once you notice where your attention is, you can choose to redirect it. You can bring it back to what you are doing, or to what you want to be doing. This awareness is the first step toward reclaiming control of your focus.
Set three reminders today. When they go off, pause and ask where your attention is. Then choose where you want it to be. Notice how this simple practice increases your awareness and control.
