How do distractions affect you? Are there certain times/places you are more distracted than others?

How might your relationship change with something if you have less judgment about it? For example, if I can manage to not judge my brother as a failure maybe I can see some of the good things that he has done. Or if I can not judge students in the commons at lunch as really loud and obnoxious, maybe I can enjoy being around them.

Has practicing mindfulness in the classroom carried over into outer parts of your life? How? When? If not, why do you think that is?
