But Wildwood, sometimes those very skills are a distraction. It is the whole ping pong ball thing. I take in WAY too much stimuli, but the trick for me is to just stick to paying attention to what is important at that moment. Earlier I talked about always checking to see if I have my glasses. It is the single most important thing for me. Just today I was trying on some jeans and I took off my prescription sunglasses in the dressing room. I paid the jeans, and as I headed for the door I said to myself - check for glasses. Yup they were on the bench in the dressing room. Now I can tell you how many people were in the store, what the three customers and the two clerks were wearing, but if I didn’t go thru this ritual of asking myself where my glasses were…it is a stressful way to go thru life.
