Embodiment and Disembodiment: Sensory Awareness

While doing the sensory awareness exercises, I found myself always getting distracted. Most of the time I would get distracted unknowingly. Then I would try to get myself focused on the activity again. Instead I would begin to focus on staying focused. Other times, like when we did the ‘Stand’ exercise, I would focus on my body and feel how my body is reacting to the exercise. I can very easily get distracted when I am trying to focus, but when I distract myself from my surroundings it is easier for me to focus. For example, while I am doing this assignment I am listening to music, sitting in an okay but not comfortable position. I think it’s all in our heads whether we stay focused or not.
