Figuring It Out Differently. Your New Way to Solve Problems. Dear Friend,
Katya Rubia is a professor of Cognitive Neuroscience at King's College London and a leading expert in ADHD (attention deficit hyperactivity disorder) in children.
The main symptoms of ADHD include difficulty with paying attention and hyperactivity. And, it is estimated that 5% of children in the UK are affected. The estimate for adults is 3-4% .
However, attention deficit is not just limited to those who have been diagnosed. It may be affecting all of us.
The average human attention span is reported to have dropped from 12 seconds in 2000 to about 8 seconds in 2015, and may have since decreased further.
A goldfish can focus for 9 seconds.
Since your ability to focus also helps you come up with solutions to any problems you may have, improving your attention is an invaluable life asset.
In a science paper published by professor Katya Rubia and others, Sahaja yoga meditation was shown to improve the attention by increasing the brain's grey matter.
The more grey matter you have, the more creative you're likely to be and the more your powers of 'thinking-outside-the-box'.
You really will be able to solve your problems by figuring it out differently. More below.
