just briefly
caution
noun US /ˈkɔ·ʃən/ a warning:
Some people might have some incorrect notions about mindfulness and, therefore
notions a belief or idea; therefore поэтому следовательно
we can be learning mindfulness,
but not being well taught
mindfulness is actually about getting more in touch with
what’s really going on in each moment.
that sometimes means that we get our attention out of all the busy, stressful thoughts and into the present moment and,
therefore, means that we relax and calm down and feel good
Sometimes it means that we get in touch with things that
we may not have been aware of or have may even been avoiding.
So our stress could become more obvious to us.

attention deficit trait
trait - a characteristic, esp. of a personality:
Patience is one of his best traits.
when we focus on one thing at a time,
we actually become less stressed and more productive.
we’re actually losing time as we switch our attention to something else. And there’s a phenomenon called the attentional blink, which is pretty interesting as well.
And what that shows is every time we switch our attention from one thing to another, there’s a really brief pause. It’s quite short– between one 0.2 up to half a second– 0.5 of the second. The more stressed we are, the longer the attentional blink is. And during this time, we’re actually not paying attention to anything at all. And we’re losing half a second, half a second, half a second each time we switch our attention.
