Focus · Day 5

Steady in noise

Let sounds and interruptions stay in the background while your attention stays put.

Spinn Originals play softly under the voice and step back while it speaks. If a workout is playing its soundtrack, that carries on instead.

Read the words
  1. This is Focus, day five. Today you will practice staying steady when the world around you is noisy.
  2. You can do this anywhere. A busy office, a train, a kitchen. If it is quiet where you are, that works too.
  3. Sit comfortably upright. Close your eyes, or keep a soft gaze ahead.
  4. Take a slow breath in.
  5. And out.
  6. Let the breath settle on its own. Rest your attention on it, wherever it is clearest.
  7. Now widen your attention a little to include sound. Notice what you can hear.
  8. Near sounds and far sounds. Steady ones and sudden ones.
  9. You do not need to block them out. Let them sit in the background, like weather outside a window.
  10. Keep the breath in front. Sounds come and go behind it.
  11. When a sound grabs you, notice the pull. Then let it fade back while you return to the breath.
  12. Voices are often the hardest. If you start following the words, notice that, and come back.
  13. Interruptions are not the end of the practice. They are part of it.
  14. If something changes around you, a door, a phone, a voice, let it register, and stay where you are.
  15. If you need to respond to something, that is fine. Then come back to the breath and begin again.
  16. Notice that you can hear everything and still keep your place on the breath.
  17. Stay put. Breath in front, sound behind.
  18. Check your body. If the noise has tightened your shoulders or your jaw, let them soften.
  19. Rest here, steady in the middle of it all.
  20. In a moment we will finish. Let your attention open fully to the room, sound and all.
  21. Take one fuller breath in.
  22. And out.
  23. Open your eyes if they were closed.
  24. That is day five, and the end of Focus. Come back to any of these sessions whenever your attention needs steadying.
