How Do I Get My Own Attention? w/ Amishi Jha

How Do I Get My Own Attention? w/ Amishi Jha

There is a lot of content out these days about attention, attention spans, and distraction. What is with the seemingly dramatic deficit we have with attention? I know for myself, I seem to look for distraction and struggle to focus, even when I’m greatly interested in what I’m working on. I make it harder for myself when I have access to all my internet connected devices. I’m bringing back a conversation I had with an expert on the matter. Dr Amishi Jha is a professor of psychology at the University of Miami where she serves as the Director of Contemplative Neuroscience for the Mindfulness Research and Practice Initiative. Amishi’s work has been featured at NATO, the World Economic Forum, The Dalai Lama's Vision Summit, and The Pentagon. She has received coverage in The New York Times, NPR, TIME, Forbes and more. She is the author of the book, Peak Mind, which we discuss in this show. Amish has spent nearly 30 years researching the science of attention through extensive work with the US Military, medical professionals, elite sports teams, and more to address the issue. Her TED Talk on "How to Tame Your Wandering Mind" has nearly 6 million views. We spend every day tuned in to screens whose sole purpose is to get our attention, to the degree we now must make a focus on, “How do I get my own attention?” Our attention is in many ways, the only power we have. The only thing we have an influence and impact on, the only thing we can help or find success in or enjoy, is what we give out attention to. We all know the concept of budgeting our money, and our time. Now we’re faced with budgeting our attention, and if we can’t control our attention, all hope seems lost toward much progress in our lives. That’s why we have Amishi with us now.

399: Believe in a hope, trust in an action

399: Believe in a hope, trust in an action

It’s Zig on stage talking about hope and making change. There is an epic analogy of when we are in a valley – when, not if – it’s what we plant there that we then eat in our bid to climb out and reach the peak. We also dig into the pithy statements and bible verses that leave out the crux. The “If” statement. This message comes from a paramount Ziglar product, Strategies for Success: Blueprint for Achievement which you can find at Ziglar.com, in the store, under MP3s.

Three questions from listeners that Tom Ziglar, Kevin Miller and special guest Carrie Wilkerson cover – 1) If you were to invest in a product and you only had one choice, what product would that be today? 2) Can you focus on working mothers and how they balance family life and entrepreneurial or sales success? 3) Zig said to yell at the top of your lungs, "I feel happy, I feel healthy, I feel terrific!" It works today when I need to get past the self-doubt I experience occasionally. The show is brought to you in part by Backblaze.com/ziglar, which gives you unlimited, cloud backup.
