Mindfulness is a matter of being fully present in the moment. As we plan goals for the upcoming year, I invite you to join me in considering the benefits of mindfulness and whether being more intentionally mindful is a resolution that you may find has value. May I have your attention please Consider our attention as being like a scarce resource, one that we completely consume every second. Imagine that we spend our attention like we spend a pay check, budgeting different amounts to where it satisfies our needs or wants. It just so happens that some of us are better at keeping budgets than others. Some of our attention we spend on thoughts, worries, and reminiscing about the past. Other parts of our attention we spend on the future that is yet to happen or may not happen, playing out scenarios in plans and daydreams. Still other parts of our attention we scatter across distractions in the spirit of “multi-tasking”, checking smart phones, working through situations not related to the current situation, presuming what other people are thinking, or simply being “somewhere else”.
