Let go of tunnel vision
I've been doing Sam Harris' "Real Attention" challenge and it has been quite helpful already in rewiring my brain, to be less reactive.
One thing I am increasingly noticing in particular is just how important vision is in determining where our attention goes. If we want to be centered and present, we need to become aware of how our vision triggers the reactive brain. And we can relearn how to see without grasping, without contracting around the things we are observing.
