If you’ve followed me for any length of time, you know the INNER WORKINGS OF THE MIND are a particularly fascinating subject for me. I hope you’re ready for a BRAINY conversation this week because that’s exactly what we’re going to talk about with my guest DR. AMISHI JHA. There are so many questions when it comes to optimizing how your brain functions. Are you curious about how you can do a better job of paying ATTENTION? Are you curious why you get DISTRACTED so easily? Dr. Jha has got some revealing insights you’re going to want to hear. Dr. Jha is the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience and Professor of Psychology at the University of Miami where she is one of the leading experts in the world on the study of COGNITIVE NEUROSCIENCE. Dr. Jha is also the author of the newly published book, PEAK MIND Even though they’re critical success skills, many of us fall short when it comes to mindfulness and maintaining focus. As part of our discussion, Dr. Jha weighs in with THREE SYSTEMS you can put into practice to help you improve these essential skills. We also talk about how you can DO AWAY WITH BIASES that are influencing your actions and what you focus on. As Dr. Jha explains, learning how to step back from your preconceived narratives gives you CLARITY going forward. Dr. JHA ties a lot of these ideas together when we talk about MENTAL TOUGHNESS through GREATER SELF-AWARENESS of your mind. We even get into how powerful your brain is through its ability to TIME TRAVEL and MIND TRAVEL. There’s so much we’ve learned about the brain, but so much that we don’t understand. Here’s one last thing to think about. What we do know, and as Dr. Jha proves, is that you can achieve BETTER LIVING through a BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR BRAIN. 0:00 Intro 1:23 Only being able to use a percentage of your brain is a fallacy 2:18 What is a peak mind? 3:54 The average person can only give 50% of attention 5:37 Is multitasking a fallacy? 6:52 What does mindfulness really mean? 15:47 The 3 systems for better attention 24:37 Does our brain help reveal to us what we believe most clearly? 29:06 Why you should be aware of the story you tell yourself 32:11 The 'Find Your Flashlight' Mindfulness Practice 35:38 Your children not being able to pay attention is not a bad thing 39:26 You develop mental toughness by knowing your mind 41:34 What is metacognition? 43:46 Time traveling & mind traveling 47:30 The Stop Practice 52:31 We are more present to the suffering of other people 55:32 Does being more present improve your memory? 59:04 How does pressure impact attention? 1:03:04 Where should people begin if they want to work on being more present? #AmishiJha #Mindfulness #Meditation #Focus #Attention #ChangeYourStory #ChangeYourLife #FindYourFocus ---- Thank you for watching this video—Please Share it and get the word out!
