You're finding your flashlight.

Where did it go?

And once you find it, you're refocusing.

And this is what I describe as the pushup for the mind.

Focusing, noticing, refocusing, repeat.

So when we do a mindfulness practice, we are doing pushups for the mind to strengthen connecting it back to attention.

All three of those systems of attention, the flashlight, we're holding it, we're pointing it.

The floodlight, we're broad, receptive, noticing what's happening right now, alert to what's happening right now.

And the juggler, where's my task?

Am I on the task or not?

Am I following my goal-directed behavior?

Maybe I'm not.

Let's get it back.

Wow.

All three systems get engaged.

And through that repeated engagement of doing this 12 minutes a day, we strengthen our attention.

Yeah.

So it is the minimum effective dose, meaning get to 12.

If you do more, the more you do, the more you benefit.

Yes, absolutely.
