This episode of The Feeling Forwards Podcast provides practical insights on moving from exhaustion to empowerment by adopting soft focus or soft fascination techniques.
The host, High Performance coach and Certified Master Neuroplastician Elizabeth Gould explores the neuroscience behind how our brains can only handle about four hours of concentrated effort each day before stress and burnout set in. Instead of relentless hard focus characterized by engaging with technology, loud noises, and human made shapes, Elizabeth reveals the practice of soft focus.
Engaging in soft focus helps the brain reset, lowers stress levels, reduces blood pressure, and stimulates dopamine release, leading to renewed motivation, increased mental clarity and high performance.
