The Art of Staying Focused

By Matt Green

How the body and mind are directly influenced against each other?
How we can take advantage of this?
The attention given to the present seems to be the least among many people and it has a devastating effect on people’s lives.
The mind did not come with our birth, it came later as a creation of our addiction to the past and the future.
