FOCUS VS UNFOCUS

 FOCUS is when you are putting all your attention on a single object. whereas UNFOCUS is when you  are paying attention to nothing in particular and doing it intentionally.

Attention is finite and is the most valuable ingredient you have to good life. Just as you are what you eat,you are what you pay attention to.  
Autopilot mode enables us to keep up with the demands of our life. when we are working in automatic mode like daily routine, habitual patterns. In autopilot mode, Our mind wandered without awareness  where as in UNFOCUS MODE, Our mind wandered consciously. zeigarian effects works in auto pilot mode. 
Zeigarnik effect: your mind will automatically  connect your new experiences with  the information  that is  already  stored  in your  LTM  whether you realize it or not.
The more we can manage our attention with intention, the more focused, productive and creative we become. The better you become at managing your attention, the less time you'll spend on distraction. "your focus determines your reality." Becoming aware of what you're thinking about is one of the best practices for managing your attention.

There are two kinds of tasks in our life and work: Habits, which we can perform without much thought and require minimal attentional space, and complex tasks, which can be done well only with dedicated focus.  In complex task, we need  focused attention for example: numerical reasoning.

Focused  attention/ hyper focus:  makes you  more productive.

Scatter focus/ Open  monitoring/Un focus: makes you more creative. 

When we scatter our attention, it's lead to amazing insights.   You can experience few eureka moments by yourself when your brain suddenly unexpectedly found a great insight in scatter focus mode. 


you do the opposite: in focus attention mode you connect the constellations of dots in your head. It is also called  Deep thinking.

Timothy Wilson, a professor of psychology at the University of Virginia, estimates that our brain receives eleven million "bits" of information in the form of sensory experiences each second. But how many of these eleven million bits can our mind consciously process and focus on at once? Just forty of them. 

Attention and intention  are two main important ingredient of FOCUS and UNFOCUS  MODE  because  switching  in any of those  mode.We need Activity focused Attention 

"Release your grip of attention intentionally."

"Dancing is like a dreaming with your feet"

Dance is something very personal to me. I express my emotions, my feelings, my mood everything through dance. When I am extremely happy - I express that happiness through dance. Things which I can't put in words I express them through dance.  All those rules, discipline, matching with your fellow dancers was not there in my dance previously. It's simply feelings that I express❤️ Dance is much more than that. I always want to learn dance under a professional institute where I learn those rules, those nuances, discipline. KHANK INSTITUTE OF PERFORMING ART provides this opportunity and I started MY Kathak Classes from this institute and now I am going to perform on stage. We all are emotional beings because we feel. Through this we connect with our innerself. Our hobby which we're very passionate about helps us to go deep inside, we can hear our inner voices ❤️️ it somehow helps us to bring ourselves completely in the moment.
