We live in a wicked busy world, where a lot of people are trying to do way too many things all at once. Whether they're distracted by their phones/electronic devices, social media or have a conditioned addiction to being busy - more and more of what matters might be slipping through the cracks. With so many of us not being present or in the moment, we wind up feeling anxious, disconnected, lonely and often completely “out of our minds”. As much as we'd like to believe it, multitasking is not the optimal skill. We were not made to be rushed, distracted and hurried all the time. Today on The Karen Kenney show, we talk about how slowing down, paying attention and “single-tasking” can benefit you and your relationships. Taking our time with things and being present with those we love will not only decrease the anxiety and stress levels in our lives, it will also save everyone so much time and energy from having to redo and repeat ourselves. The truth is, one of the greatest ways that we can show love is to pay attention. Your presence in the “precious present” is how we show those we care about that they truly matter.    What You Will Learn On This Episode: We Live At High Speed (8:41) Writing Conference in Florida (16:01) Precious Present Moments (18:49) Not Paying Attention (23:47) Keep Your Eyes On The Screen (26:42) Feeling Overwhelmed (35:26)   Karen Kenney is a writer, speaker, and the founder of Fearless Flow Mentoring.
