But there's also just a letting it be there and observing it.
And as we talk through the various types of attention, we'll realize that holding can mean all of those things.
It can mean directing it.
It can mean acknowledging it.
It can mean checking in with it without doing anything differently.
And as we expand the repertoire of how we hold our attention, we can develop that sense of friendliness and self-supportive orientation toward our own mind.
Right.
So attention is an incredibly powerful brain system.
That's the first thing.
We already know that.
It's a brain system.
It is.
And it doesn't actually fully develop until we're about 25 years old.
Wait, what?
Yes.
And that age, 25, is because attention relies on a very important part of the brain that's quite slow to develop, the prefrontal cortex.
Okay.
So we need our attention for everything that we do and things like thinking, things like feelings,
things like connecting with other people, all of those require our attention.
Before we talk about in more detail what attention is and all of the different ways that it functions, I think it might be useful to mention something about why we even have an attention system.
