Okay so. Your brain (and mine) can only consciously process approximately 50 bits of the over 20 billion bits of sensory and psychological data that are coming at it in any given second. This means that no matter how educated or wise any of us is, we are always looking at reality through a keyhole. It follows then, that where I direct the keyhole of my attention is up to me. If I m ALWAYS pointing it at negative information and feeding my confirmation bias with evidence of that theme, is it any wonder that everything looks bleak? Making a choice to regularly train this peephole toward what I would love isn t denying reality. It s simply a matter of deciding which reality I want to feed and live in more of the time. You know? And making this sort of choice a conscious practice can have a profound psychological and behavioral effect. It s #science.
