Attention and distraction

Attention is the capacity to place and hold your awareness where you choose; distraction is when it fragments into reactivity. These aren't opposites—attention is built through understanding why mind wanders, noticing the pull of stimulus without judgment, and gently returning. Over time, this practice reveals both the mechanics of mind and your genuine agency within it.
