"All day long, you are selectively paying attention to something, and much more often than you may suspect, you can take charge of this process to good effect. Indeed, your ability to focus on this and suppress that is the key to controlling your experience and, ultimately, your well-being." - Winifred Gallagher

| [Quote No.68628] Need Area: Mind > Focus
"[Focus on what you want and distract from what you don't want:] That your experience largely depends on the material objects and mental subjects that you choose to pay attention to or ignore is not an imaginative notion, but a physiological fact. When you focus on a stop sign or a sonnet, a waft of perfume or a stock-market tip, your brain registers that 'target,' which enables it to affect your behavior. In contrast, the things that you don't attend to in a sense don't exist, at least for you.
All day long, you are selectively paying attention to something, and much more often than you may suspect, you can take charge of this process to good effect. Indeed, your ability to focus on this and suppress that is the key to controlling your experience and, ultimately, your well-being." - Winifred Gallagher

| [Quote No.12091] Need Area: Property > Garden/Nature
"Since the history's first epic poem recorded the visit of the Sumerian hero Gilgamesh to a special grove of cedars, certain natural spots scattered around the world - Ayers Rock [Uluru], Mount Fuji, Canyon de Chelly, the springs at Lourdes, the Ganges River, and
hundreds of others - have drawn people seeking insight, inspiration, healing or proximity to the divine.

| [Quote No.50683] Need Area: Fun > Gratitude
"One group was told to focus on all the upbeat things they could find - sunshine, flowers, smiling pedestrians. Another was to look for negative stuff - graffiti, litter, frowning faces. The third group was instructed to walk just for the exercise. At the end of the week, when the walkers' well-being was tested again, those who had deliberately targeted positive cues were happier than before the experiment! The negatively focused subjects were less happy, and the just plain exercisers scored in between. The point, says Bryant, is that 'you see what you look for. And you can train yourself to attend to the joy out there waiting to be had, instead of passively waiting for it to come to you.'

"Your life is the creation of what you focus on — and what you don’t. [Much of the quality of your life depends not on fame or fortune, beauty or brains, fate or coincidence, but simply - almost solipsistically - on what you choose to pay attention to, the 'stream of consciousness' that you direct.]" - Winifred Gallagher
