When I practice zazen it is very clear where the focus of my attention should be. I do my sussokan and forget everything else. But in daily life there are myriads of things thoughts and feelings trying to draw my attention. I don't know what to focus on so my attention wanders. Any suggestions?

We stay centered in our tanden, working creatively on that. Like a spinning top, we don´t stop yet keep moving from our tanden, becoming our work completely.
