these episodes will be all about. Bitesized wellness wisdom for lifelong learners. So let’s OPEN UP and satiate our minds.
This brain snack is all about hacking your attention and focus. This week I came across one of my newest favorite, short educational videos from Big Think. They sat down with neuroscientist Amishi Jha.
I’m going to share with you how she tells us that we can hack and gain control of our focus and attention.
Have you ever felt like your mind is wandering off in a million different directions? Do you struggle to focus on the tasks at hand or find yourself easily distracted by the endless temptations of modern life? Well, my friends, you are not alone!
It seems like we live in an era where attention is the most precious currency. From social media notifications to cat videos, our minds are constantly being pulled in every direction imaginable. But fear not, for in the midst of this attentional chaos lies a powerful secret weapon: focused attention or it’s more formal name, meditation!
Ahh, meditation, the age-old practice that brings peace and tranquility to even the most frazzled of minds. But what if I told you that meditation is not just about sitting cross-legged and chanting "om"? What if I revealed that it's also a potent tool to hack your attention and unleash your focus?
