In this short conversation, Jim Kwik asks how we can reclaim ownership and agency over our attention so that we can better access our intuition. The speaker explains that attention is a scarce, strained resource and that the key to regaining control is to become aware of what we choose to focus on. A practical method suggested is keeping an "attention journal"—recording moments when the body gives signals such as goosebumps, warmth, or a sense of peace, and reflecting on what those sensations might mean. The speaker frames the body‑mind as an ecosystem that, even when operating largely unconsciously, shapes our perception, thoughts, and actions. By consciously aligning with and training our intuition through this reflective practice, we can improve our connection to ourselves and others, rebuild trust in our own intelligence, and make more confident choices.

How do we take back ownership and agency of our attention so that we could tune more into our intuition?
Our attention is a scarce resource, but today our attention is under a lot of strain. And as you say, our attention is the key to intuition. One of the most important things that we do to take ownership over our own attention and therefore our intuition is to pay attention to what we pay attention to. I would recommend that people keep an attention journal. So journal about what you pay attention to. So for example, you get goosebumps. Why? What is your skin telling you? You feel warmth across your chest, peaceful feeling. Why? What is that about? This is your whole system. Your body and mind is an ecosystem interacting with the world around you. And while this is mostly unconscious, it still shapes how we show up, perceive, think, and act, react. And so this is why it's so super important for us to really learn how to align with and train our intuition in order to connect it with ourselves. Because if we're not, it's very hard to connect with other people. people and the world around us, but also to regain ownership over our attention in order to build trust and confidence in our own intelligence and choices.
