introduction
“Cultivating Attention in Activities Part 2,” guides students in practicing sustained attention in everyday activities like walking, eating, listening, and writing. The goal is to develop mindfulness skills and build focus stamina while also providing various options for students to integrate attention training into their daily lives. It is important to cultivate attention using neutral or “boring” things because it improves students’ ability to be present and pay attention for longer periods, and it helps to address tendencies toward negativity bias.
