This episode is a companion to the previous 3 episodes on Levels of Consciousness (173), Kindness (174) and Presence (175.) I share how what we pay attention to in our environment shapes our experience of reality and why we need tools to help us expand our awareness. This episode includes:

• How the brain is wired to focus on negative events in order to protect us from danger
• How to shift our attention to more positive occurrences around us
• Why this is not the same as Toxic Positivity
• How presence helps us stabilize our nervous system so we can notice more possibilities
• How flexible attention allows to see more kindness in the world
• How kindness reinforces our regulated nervous system
• Micro-practices for training our attention to hold both the negative and positive events of life
