How I Keep Focus



An issue that I have dealt with constantly in my life is keeping focus. The reason why this is very challenging for me is because I have a hard time recognizing what could be a distraction. A way that I have overcome this issue is to first maintain my body's focus by taking slow deep breaths and by asking myself what is disrupting my focus. Then once I find out what that is I will minimize my mental input on what could be a distraction, good examples for this would be fluorescent lighting, screened electronics or background music. After that I would minimize my physical input to the distraction. If this does not help I would check my body's signals to make sure that I'm not hungry or need water and I would ask myself this because I noticed that I get more distracted when I am hungry or dehydrated.

    Good morning, James. I have been so grateful for your blog. We know each other from the pool where I have admired your diligence and skill in keeping us safe. When I see you counting each swimmer, I know that your focus is on us like a shepherd counting his sheep. Thank you for that. And for these words about focus. I am the pastor at the Presbyterian church, and I will be sharing your words about keeping focus in my sermon this morning -- which is about the importance of using our ears. You have reminded me with this post that it is not only about our ears, but being able to focus on the important parts of what we hear.
    See you at the pool!
    Lisa

the importance of being straightforward when speaking

                        In a previous post of mine I spoke about the importance of concise speech in this post I will explain why I value being straight forward when I speak. The main reason why I find straight forward communication important is because I take things very literally especially when it comes down to the very small details of how a person communicates with me. The next reason why I value straight forward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with recognizing an individuals tone of voice which makes challenging for me to understand what message a person is trying to convey to me and same is said about social cues or body language. In conclusion the reason why I value straightforward communication is due to the fact that I have a difficult time with understanding what an individual is trying to discuss with me, the fact that i have a difficult time with recognizing social cues.

How I See People

                In my previous post I briefly discussed people and their part in how I see the world in this post I will describe how do I see people and why do I see them this way. The way that I see people is like I said before in my previous post titled "How I See The World" is that they are unpredictable and they could say or do any number of things whether it would be good or bad. Now normally in most circumstances I see people just as well people no color, no religion and not any different about them from me, and the reason why is due to the fact that people could have many differences on the outside but I still see them as a person regardless of their beliefs and their looks. As Martin Luther King Jr. once said "I live to see a day where we are not judged by our color or creed but by our character" that phrase is what I live by and what I use to help me see people as such. Therefore the way that I see people is as individuals that are ...
