Everyone wants to change their brain to think, feel, and act better, but how? Visual focus and mental focus are directly linked to one another via specific circuits in the brain. If we want to get better at focusing on tasks for the sake of learning, listening better, or engaging neuroplasticity we not only need to limit external distractions, we need to limit internal distractions through specific mindsets and behaviors.
On today’s Broken Brain Podcast, I talk to Dr. Andrew Huberman about visual science and the connection between vision and the brain, and how our eyes are not connected to the brain, they are the brain. We discuss how to optimize our brain through performing specific actions each day, and how these set and enforce our cellular and circadian rhythm. We also talk about the importance of a growth mindset, and how we can cultivate motivation and sustain momentum in achieving our goals.
