"It's as though our brains are configured to make a certain number of decisions per day and once we reach that limit, we can't make anymore, regardless of how important they are."
~ Neuroscientist, Dr. Daniel J. Levitin
Are you finding it hard to focus these days? If so, you're not alone. As we endure the ongoing pandemic, our lives require more focused thought in order to keep abreast of how to stay safe. This week, you'll be guided using meditation techniques to help you focus your mind on what matters most. We'll be following along with the book, "The Organized Mind," by neuroscientist, Dr. Daniel J. Levitin.
This is day 1 of a 7-day meditation series, The Focused Mind, episodes 2376-2382.
