Mind & Behaviour
We usually think about attention in terms of concentration: whether we can focus, finish a task or resist distraction.
But attention is something more fundamental.
What repeatedly receives our attention gradually occupies part of our mental life.
People, screens, worries, ideas and experiences compete for a resource that is limited and deeply connected to how we experience our days.
Can I pay attention?
But:What receives the best of my attention?

Lošinj: A Life Well Lived is a Facebook community for people who live on the island, return to it or simply feel connected to it.
It is a space for experiences, observations and different perspectives on life, wellbeing, relationships, place, community and what makes life here worth living.
Sometimes a question begins here and continues there. Sometimes the conversation brings us back with a new story.

The Island Teaches
The sea is not permanently calm.
Neither are we meant to perform at maximum intensity all the time.
Vitality requires rhythm.
Try something
No headphones.
No photographs.
No destination to optimise.
Just walk.
Then ask yourself:What did I notice when nothing was asking for my attention?
