How to Stay Out of the Dog House
In my last post, I mentioned the recent study by the Virginia Tech Transportation Institute showing that nearly 80% of auto accidents are caused by people not paying attention.
And that got me thinking about how distraction, divided attention and lack of focus can cause other kinds of mishaps. About how many opportunities we've missed or squandered because we weren't paying attention.
Personally and professionally.
Not listening when we should have. Talking when we shouldn't have. Missing subtle (or not so subtle) clues, cues, tone and body language that would have helped us Seal the Deal (or stay out of the dog house).
Here are a few tips to improve your attention span, your mental clarity and your focus, so you can take advantage of those opportunities and start firing on all cylinders:
1. We're half-way through the new year now. The long weekend would be a great time to review your goals, forgive yourself for the blown opportunities and start paying more attention to your life, your relationships and your success.
2. Relax: reducing your stress levels can help you relax, focus and concentrate. Just like relaxed muscles are more responsive, a relaxed mind is more responsive, creative and productive.
3. Feed your brain right: The DHA in Fish Oil is essential for brain function; your brain prefers DHA and needs a steady stream to work right. CoQ10 keeps beta amyloid peptides from building up in the brain (thus preventing Alzheimer's). And besides protecting against cancer, multi-vitamin/minerals have also been shown to improve your mental clarity.
Whether you're a student, a teacher, boss, employee, parent, performer (or just trying to make a phone call while you're driving), your success in life--even your very life itself--depends on your ability to stay alert and focused.

PS The most common distraction in the Virginia Tech study came from cell phones (dialing, talking and/or listening). The Q-Link helps you pay better attention, but it also protects you from the harmful radiation produced by cellphones. So if you're using a cell phone (on-road or off) your brain would appreciate it if you protected it with a Q-Link. Drive on over and check it out at www.drvinceonline.com
