Happy New Christmas

December 23, 2020 by Paddy Spruce

Aren’t we fortunate to live here during these trying times. Not to be smug but we are so fortunate to be able to enjoy a near normal Christmas while others are heading into harder times.

Thank you for being a regular reader. I hope my information is helpful.

I am not a fan of New Year Resolutions but I have one anyway.

I understand that the human brain can process about 110 bits per second. A conversation takes about half of this computing power so we can do two things at once but not very well. If you focus on one sense entirely it will seem brighter, tastier, more colourful and more enjoyable. Try eating something and just focus on the taste. Give all 110 bits to a conversation and hear more. Some will be missing if you divide your attention.

Make 2021 the year when you will give your full attention to everything you do. Also try viewing everything through kind lenses. Hold the judgement. Assume kind motives to others. This will help you listen better and become more focused.

Enjoy Christmas and ease into the New Normal.

Best wishes.

Paddy
