I didn't spot the gorilla the first time, hehe
Hehe, I just wonder what was it doing there when I saw it.
Haha! I think that if I had noticed the gorilla, I might not count the correct passes, because it would have distracted me, lol
I think it was just an accident that I noticed it hahaha
Mindfulness is a common practice nowadays. It's similar to meditation. And it has health benefits.
Haha, not that you had been passing balls when the gorilla appeared to scare you, lol And yes, many details go unnoticed by us every day. But I think that same ability allows us to focus our attention on something even though there are many disturbances around us sometimes.
It should start in elementary or something, the earlier, the better :)
You may be right since it's a great tool to improve attention and relieve stress.
And kids will be more compassionate and empathetic :)
Multi-tasking has been the trend nowadays due to busy life. People neglect the importance of developing the skill to focus. I'm still a believer of laser focus. I multi task only on meager things. But when it comes to serious tasks, I focus. It's more productive that way and the quality of work is better. Single tasking simultaneously is effective. When you focus with current task, you finish faster with very minimal or no errors with the task and can proceed to the other tasks earlier. You'll find yourself accomplishing more. This mindfulness training is a reminder that there are things that would require focus. The video is amazing too. I didn't notice the gorilla coz I'm too focused on counting how many times the ball was passed by those wearing white shirt. It's like telling us that laser focus can help us overcome distractions. Nice exercise.
I agree with you. Some things require our full attention. I counted the passes, but I didn't notice the gorilla the first time I watched the video either.
I would call that a memory blackout, lol
My first time watching it, I just counted well the passes, but I didn't notice anything else.
I would say that maybe you were too focused on counting the passes. A mi me paso igual cuando lo vi la primera vez.
Wow! I watched the video and at first, I didn't notice the gorilla because I thought I saw three black players 🤣🤣 Also the curtains changed from red to orange. I only focused on the white players and I counted 15 passes but it was actually 16 passes. I enjoyed watching it. Can I get the link to the positive Psychology course you took please?
I took the course here on site in the Venezuelan Society of Positive Psychology. But on the Internet, there are many resources to read on the subject. You can start reading about the PERMA model https://positivepsychology.com/perma-model/ I will also look at the material I have from the course to see if have some in English to share with you.
It happened to me. The first time I watched it, I didn't spot the gorilla.
Don't always try to do multi-tasking try to do thing's once at a time as it would relieve and make the work faster;btw i once looked for an object which wasn't far from me but i wasn't mindful that's why i didn't quickly notice it.
You're right. If we concentrate on a single task, it can be more effective if we focus our attention.
You're right...we should do one thing at a time so that we don't keep unfinished tasks for long.
So, it's called inattentional blindness. We usually call it amnesia haha! But, just an expression, coz i don't know the right term.. Very informative my friend.,thank you!
You are welcome, Lykelyca!
Video was cute, I did notice all but the player leaving.
Cute is a weird word to describe it. 😉
Didn't you think the gorilla was cute?
I didn't notice the gorilla the first time I watch the video, and the last thing I thought was that he was cute, lol Your mind is an enigma to me Eddie W. 😂
hehe, speaking of Eddie W, when I was golfing in the jungle in Gabon in West Africa, I saw a gorilla well two actually nearly pooped my trousers!
Haha! But you still find them cute. Isn't it? I would have passed out. But I would pay to watch a video of your incident with the two gorillas 🤣
They were B I G I mean bloody BIG! Yeah oh to have had a smartphone then
Maybe if you had a smartphone then, it would have ended up in the hands of the gorillas because you would have thrown it out of fright.
The first time I counted the passes well, but I didn't notice anything else. And I'm sure that if I had noticed the gorilla, I would have been distracted. And I wouldn't have counted well. lol
Yes, it's a test that is part of a psychology study. ;) And I missed everything but the passes the first time.
You cheated me, you asked me how many times the players in white pass the ball and I focused my attention on that, I counted 17 times and then you asked about the gorilla and the curtain, that's not worth it hahahaha. Really those moments of mindfulness are worth a lot, I practiced them in a spiritual retreat that was actually pure meditation and those moments of mindfulness changed my life, I just did not continue practicing them. Very interesting post, I loved it. Thank you. I take this opportunity to send this personal information I don't know if it's appropriate to write this here but I will anyway, I have an active post for 19 hours and the PromptlyJonica community that has not yet been approved, please check and tell me if I broke a rule. Thanks
I am going to look and see if it is approved or not
Thank you, look and tell me.
I'm glad you like it, hehe. Mindfulness is really useful. I don't practice it often either, but I should. I see that your post has already been approved.
Yes, the other administrator approved it, thank you.
This was very interesting! I will definitely give it a try... especially with the food. Hhaha, I´m already looking forward to it!
Mindfulness is a helpful practice. I hope you'll enjoy it.
