Stop Feeling Overwhelmed With Tasks
About this class
When you're overwhelmed with tasks, slowing down and learning to focus calmly on just one thing may be what you need.
The ability to multitask is seen as a badge of honor in our modern society. But multitasking is not really completely possible, as the mind can only pay attention to one thing at a time. When you're doing too many things at once, you're actually switching your focus a lot. After a while, this is a recipe for stress, exhaustion, and overload. Try this short practice to do the complete opposite — slow down, rest your attention, and focus fully and effectively on one thing at a time.
