Present, Not Perfect: How to Stop Losing Time to Distraction

  1. Present, Not Perfect: How to Stop Losing Time to Distraction Cathy Lee Taylor 14:14

Have you ever found yourself in the middle of a conversation, only to realize you haven’t heard a word for the past five minutes? Your mind wandered. And maybe you started wondering: “Is this a senior moment, or something worse?”

In reality, not being present at the moment happens to all of us, but it becomes more pronounced as we age—and it’s one of the key drivers behind Stress, Grief, and those moments we can’t explain away.

But don’t worry—today, we will help you shift your focus back to the now. We’ll share a practical, simple way to be more present—without needing hours of Meditation or mindfulness practice. By the end of today’s episode, we’ll reveal a surprisingly easy technique to help you regain focus and reduce stress, and it takes just a few minutes.

When fully engaged in the present moment, we experience greater peace, less stress, and better emotional well-being. Psychologists say that by age 75, most people only spend an average of five hours a day fully present. 

So, if you’re ready to regain control and make the most of every moment, stay with us—we’ve got some simple and effective strategies for you. Let’s dive in!
