Attention vs Intention: Biological Forces that Reshape the Brain
Manage episode 518674409 series 2993661
We explore how attention and intention act as biological forces that reshape the brain, and why emotion is the accelerator that makes change stick. We share tools for building coherence, training focus through meditation, and pairing vivid goals with elevated feelings to rewire habits.
• attention as the steering wheel of consciousness
• intention as the chosen destination that primes the prefrontal cortex
• neuroplasticity explained through practice, repetition, and energy allocation
• costs of distraction and fragmented neural patterns
• role of emotion, dopamine, and the reticular activating system
• coherence through HRV, heart–brain alignment, and elevated states
• meditation as training for alpha and theta access
• mental imagery paired with gratitude to encode new patterns
• shifting emotional baselines to change perception and behavior
Go look for that coherence.
