One way to make our life more rewarding is simply to learn to be fully present when we are in other people’s company. It can be helpful to develop a practice of using every opportunity to give the people around us our undivided attention – free from external distraction and free from self-focus. We might not succeed every time but there is merit in fighting the urge to pick up our phone in other people’s company or the urge to frequently bring the conversation back to our own stories.

Full, undivided attention is the greatest gift we have to give, made all the more poignant in a distracted world where our attention is increasingly used as currency. The act of being fully present with another person reduces the distance between us to the smallest possible space, and offers one of the most rewarding ways of truly breaking out of solitude.
