Ep 586: Attention, Harvard, Gorilla + Seeing our Motivation Through Self Awareness

In today’s first segment, I share a very fascinating - and kinda funny - story about an experiment done with a group of Harvard students. Most of us believe we’re paying attention to our surroundings, but this video suggests a different view. And it tells us a lot about the importance of attention. Better yet, attention is a skill. And like any other skill you’ve ever developed, it can be trained through practice. In the second segment today, I talk about how self-awareness allows us to see and discern between the emotions that just get us worked up for nothing and the emotions that motivate us toward beneficial action. I hope you enjoy! If you would like to learn more about these practices I talk about, I encourage you to get in touch. Some people are well capable of developing these skills on their own, but most of us need a little guidance, motivation, and accountability in order to stick with it long enough for the skills to take root as habits.
