Explore the paradox of two core states of being: the
Experiencing Self, which loves to dive into the moment, and the
Observing Self, which steps back to reflect on those moments. We’ll examine how these two states form
The Attention Paradox and how you can use Polarity Thinking to manage their push and pull. Get hands-on with tools like polarity mapping, interactive exercises, and real-world examples. Learn how this paradox shows up in your life and work. Build on the pioneering insights of Ruth Noller, Daniel Kahneman, and David Kolb to examine the upsides and downsides of each state, learn the early warning signs of over-focusing on either one, and build practical strategies to stay in tune. Whether you want to enrich your personal growth, creative projects, or professional life, you’ll leave with a new approach to get the most out of your two paradoxical states of attention.
Learning Objectives:- Apply the concept of the Attention Paradox and the interdependency between Experiencing and Observing.
- Recognize early warning signs of over-focusing on your experiencing self and your observing self to help you manage the Attention Paradox.
- Apply Polarity Thinking to manage the upsides and downsides of these paradoxical states in personal and professional scenarios.
