One Quote:

“When we are able to embrace each piece of progress we make, we are less likely to think in terms of success and failure, less likely to give up on our daily practice. By directing our attention to our everyday activities, we see that each of our days has intrinsic value and is part of the whole patchwork of our lives, a part we can shape.”
Dr Zelana Montminy, author of Finding Focus Own Your Attention in an Age of Distraction.

Two Ideas:

Dr Zelana Montminy on our culture’s obsession with results:
“Our culture fixates on results, neglecting the value and growth found in the process itself. Attending to the present moments that make up our journey fosters focus, reduces stress and grants us a sense of control.”

Dr Zelana Montminy on concentration, acceptance and joy:
“Building habits and strengthening concentration, require consistent daily practice. Life’s inevitable challenges are an integral part of the process, accepting them allows for growth and learning…Rather than shying away from challenges, we can view them as opportunities to build resilience and develop new skills …Appreciating the simple pleasures of the present moment enhances our experience of the process, transforming mundane tasks into opportunities for enjoyment.”
