Last night I was desperately trying to focus on anything other than the bad experience I had earlier in the day. I could change focus for a short while then back to the bad.
The reason we are hard wired, is so we could survive the tiger waiting in the bushes, ready to attack and eat us.
We are hard wired to SEE the tiger, so we can escape it. This is VERY important. Without it we would be tiger breakfast.
Residential people are able to choose what they focus thier attention on.
Eventually I was able to shift my focus, but I took a while.

It can take some time on certain days.
This is so true Gavin. I’m really glad you managed to focus on something else. It’s a battle for me too some days.
sometime it’s really difficult to focus on something else. those days need a gentile hand.
Yes please be kind to yourself 🤗
