Beautifully written Carlo 😍

The process of art is really peaceful, also a way to express emotions without explaining them, while painting and while looking at the outcome. 🎨✨💜

I am feeling unable to step back into my full potential for so long now, and, I cannot expect change when I am only analyzing the situations over and over again. There is so much to give, a lot of action to be made. I am full of wonders and I can be so brave. According to the feeling in my gut, I need to shut my mind, - shut it down with every doubt that appears, close my eyes and just go. Going to places that wait for me to be explored. Finding chances that only appear once. Fighting the anxious feeling that is deeply rooted with courage, courage that burns inside of me, just still a little small. Exploring new places in this world that I can fill with my wonderful energy, and with the powerful feeling of love I am carrying. Dear self, we are so ready. Dear mind, stfu we will find out.

When you can focus, you become lethal.

Learning new things becomes easier. And more fun.

Which means:

- You become more valuable (and your value compounds the more you learn and ‘stack’ knowledge-disciplines)

- You become Anti-Fragile (assuming you continue learning, you will continue getting stronger even as you make mistakes… Even horrendous mistakes like I have)…

- And you will become capable of doing more...

- To top it all off, it’s a virtuous cycle, where the more capable you become, the easier it gets.

What most people don't realize is everyone has two '**modes of focus**.'

And staying in “one mode” for too long is counterproductive.

So in today’s post, I’ll be sharing these two modes of focus and how to split your attention between the two at the right times.

Plus, how to engineer your environment to tune into each more easily.

Sound good? Alrighty then, let’s go…

# FOCUS: The 2 Modes

## 1. Conscious Focused Mode

This mode of focus happens in the Prefrontal Cortex. This is the part of the brain where we do our “executive thinking” and decision-making.

We want to use this mode for intense, detail oriented problems.

A while ago, I took a MOOC called Mindshift where Barbara Oakley describes the kinds of environments we want to put ourselves in for this type of problem-solving & focus. Can you guess what is best?

I’ll tell you: you want a quiet room with a low ceiling.

It should feel as if your focus is *tight*.

This lends itself to more detail-oriented thinking rather than big picture thinking.

Which is what we are doing in the next mode of focus…

## 2. Unconscious Diffuse Mode

The opposite of conscious focused mode is unconscious diffused mode.

In this mode of focus, we’re better off approaching creative, big picture problems.

And as you might guess, the better environment for this kind of focus is a room with a high ceiling. Or in my personal opinion, being outside is also great for this when the weather permits.

I’ve found that splitting my time between the two, and mixing up my environments to reflect each of these kinds of focus has a profound effect on my productivity and overall sense of well-being.

I get more done. I feel more relaxed. And generally, enjoy life more.

Hope this will have a similar effect for you, too.

Godspeed,

It's annoying to copy your nsec from your phone to the browser's extension on a computer.

What would you prefer?

1. get the desktop to turn on the camera to scan an app-generated QR code with the nsec?

2. find a way to represent the nsec as a list of words so that people can easily write them from one device to another.

Any other ideas?

I understand that we live in a world of duality and that we’re all a part of all that is but it doesn’t make it hurt less ❤️‍🩹

I’ve been speechless for weeks watching what’s happening in Gaza and all I could do is draw to channel my energy.

I’m sorry I missed all footage from the Tokyo event, the children of Palestine took all my attention ♥️🇵🇸✌🏼

I've missed you franny! 🥰🫂 I'm doing okay. 🤍💜 Doing better 🥹

Still better than death and random killing sprees, but what have you.

'We think too much and feel too little.

More than machinery, we need humanity. More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.

Without these qualities, life will be violent and all will be lost.'

~Charlie Chaplin in the movie The Great Dictator (1940).

One of those days in which I wake up and I simply cannot contain my excitement.

I fucking love nostr and what we’re building here.

Thanks for being here; your energy fuels us.

Keep Zapping! All sat amounts count! 2M is so close!

Either push your limits or suffocate in your comfort zone.

Hey! Sorry it took me a bit. Yes I did. I tried two & basically, I should have had my data backed up using nostrsync.live

It's my fault 😔 I think you can use metada.nostr.com as well.- not 100% sure on that one. 🫂💜✨ *thank you nostr:npub1cmmswlckn82se7f2jeftl6ll4szlc6zzh8hrjyyfm9vm3t2afr7svqlr6f for your help* :) 🙏🏻

not feeling well

gonna take a break 💜

Have u tried opening your account in another client?

Contact list is a kind 3 event which could be overwritten, clients are responsible for preserving the old contact list whenever they make new additions to it, most probably the client OP chose to use was not responsible enough with their contact list.

I'm not sure if anyone can see this. Everyone is missing from my follows. Feed & notifications are blank. Just going to leave this here...

Peace & love 🥹🫂🤍✨

You're using relay.snort.social which was a public relay before. Now it's a paid relay - so if you don't have a subscription (which I think is most likely), that relay should still have your old kind3/following list.

Try switching off all the relays except that one for reading & see if you have your old following list.

I can see it 🫶
