“Uh oh, I’ve wandered off… she’s still talking… what’s she talking about?
I hope I figure it out before it’s my turn to say something.
I’ll just keep nodding until then.”
Minds wander, some more than others.
Maybe we yell at ourselves for this drifting of thought.
Maybe we “try harder”, furrowing our brow, searching for some iron-will to keep ourselves on track.
Or maybe we give up, excuse ourselves, or change topics.
Either way, these attempts can give up a creative power inherent to a wandering mind.
To learn how we can move from wandering to engaging, tune in to S01E46 – “Wait, What were you just talking about?”
