It’s too easy to be distracted these days thanks to phone alerts, never-ending emails, bingeable TV shows, and more. Neuroscientist Amishi Jha has some mindfulness exercises to help us strengthen our ability to pay attention. You can even try one of them right now: Sit in a comfortable, upright position and focus all of your attention on the sensation of breathing. Your brain might start to wander, but gently refocus it back to the feeling of bringing air in and out of your chest. Practice 15 minutes a day, 5 days a week, for about 4 weeks, and you’ll likely see your attention improve —even under stress. Other benefits associated with mindfulness include reduced anxiety, protection from depression relapse, and improved working memory. Still, it takes dedication. “Begin with whatever you consider a reasonable goal and cut it in half, and make a commitment for some period of time,” says Amishi. By reclaiming your own attention, you will be able to connect more fully to the world around you. For more exercises, visit go.ted.com/mindfulness
