Hi Bruce,
Thank you so much for your message. At first I found it quite hard to just listen and not open other windows on my laptop to check emails or read information. I finally then just focus and sat up with my hands on my lap, which made a big difference.
Multitasking will not be my priority now, but being in the moment and giving my undivided attention!
