On Purpose with Jay Shetty

NOTE

Deliberate Control of Attention for Mental and Physical Well-being

Humans have the ability to control their attention like two spotlights, either broad or narrow, and can even overlap them or separate them deliberately. Learning to disengage attention is crucial for mental and physical health as it aids in better sleep and reduces reactive behavior. Cultivating a broadened focus is essential to consider the full space and time, as space and time are interlinked in the brain. Narrow visual focus leads to narrow time perception, while broader focus allows for a more comprehensive view. Mastering the deliberate control of attention benefits overall well-being by enabling individuals to manage stress, enhance sleep quality, and maintain a broader perspective on situations.
