Ever feel like everyone's so glued to their screens that no one's really paying attention anymore?
In a world dominated by screens and constant distractions, the art of truly paying attention seems to be fading away. Are we ever fully present when someone is speaking to us, or are our minds wandering off to distant places while we nod along absentmindedly?
And let's be real, when we're the ones talking, are we getting the full attention we deserve, or are our friends just half-listening while they check their Insta feeds?
It's a wild world out there, with studies showing that people spend over 3 hours a day on their phones. I'm not sure who they're polling, but I'll admit my screen time greatly exceeds that amount. Sad, very sad, I know. And 88% of people admit to using their phone while hanging out with others. What are we doing?
The Challenge
So, let's shake things up this week! Whether it's a brief interaction at the drive-through, a conversation with a colleague, or a classroom lecture, how about we put down the phones, look people in the eye, and actually listen when they talk? Let's see how our undivided attention can make someone's day and bring us closer to those around us.
Who's up for the challenge? Let's make this week about connecting with the souls right in front of us.
You have my full attention,
xoxo Tracy
