Ok, you probably thought I've given up on blogging already. Nope, it's just that I have no focus. There, I said it. I hate to admit it, but it's true. And it doesn't seem to matter if it's subject matter that I am interested in. I catch myself drifting all the time, whether it's a class I'm taking, studying or even in the middle of a class at the gym (yeah, not good to be in the middle of a packed kickboxing class and suddenly I'm going in the opposite direction of everyone else because I'm constructing a to-do list in my mind), at some point, my mind is going to drift.
My lack of focus can best be demonstrated in a recent yoga class...
Instructor: Ok, let's move into pigeon pose.
Me: (Yeah me, love pigeon pose!)
Instructor: Ok, feel the stretch... focus on your breath here feeling it move in and out...
Me: (Ok... focusing on breath... in... out... in... out... ... ... oh, I can't forget to get cat food on the way home. Oops! Focus! Breathing in... out... ... ... Target is next door, I should just go there. Stop it!! Breathing in... out.... in... out... They have some super cute summer tops too right now, I should just go take a peek... Gah! Come on, this really isn't that difficult, is it?? Focus!! Breathing in.... out... in... ... ... ah... ... ... breathing in, out............. There, see? I'm doing it! Crap, now I'm not... in... out... deep breaths... I should take a look at their sunglasses too.......)
Do you see my problem here? Do I have ADD?? Or do I just have so much going on that I can't possibly focus on one thing? Or is this something learned? How does one improve their focus?
