JJ Virgin and Josh Peiss, creator of the Committed Impulse training method used by Navy SEALs and actors, explain how noticing when your mind wanders and pulling it back builds focus like a muscle. A simple practice: observe what you see right now—color, shape, texture—to stay present.
So anytime that you catch that your mind has taken you, you know, you might be in a conversation and then all of a sudden you're like, later.
Yeah, I'm gonna do, yeah, I gotta do that later.
And then, yeah. And then you've totally missed what's happening. There's a period where you don't know that your mind has gotten you. And then there's a moment that you realize that you just were like, the I'm back, it builds the muscle to stay present.
I've got Josh Peiss with me. He's the creator of Committed Impulse, which is this breakthrough training method used by top performers, Navy SEALs, entrepreneurs. He set out by training actors and realized that he had a technique that could help people really master being present.
Experiment seeing what's there in terms of color, shape, texture, lightness and darkness.
You started this, this from being a better performer and really being able to access everything.
