Attention Definitions

Attention: the act or state of applying the mind to something, a condition of readiness for such attention involving especially a selective narrowing or focusing of consciousness and receptivity, sympathetic consideration of the needs and wants of others, a position assumed by a soldier with heels together, body erect, arms at the sides, and eyes to the front.

Attention Challenge

  • Reflect on Tolstoy's "The Three Questions" or Jon Muth's adaptation of the same title.
  • Consider the word inspire, which literally means "to breathe in". Reflect on how to use your breath as a tool for inspiration, and how taking mindful breaths can reorient your attention to the present moment.
