Ep 77. In today’s episode, we explore the intriguing concept of attentional costs and their impact on our energy levels. Have you ever felt drained after engaging in a new experience or facing a frightening event? This phenomenon, known as attentional fatigue, occurs when our brain’s focus is stretched thin, especially in environments that constantly change and induce unpredictability.Much like diet fatigue, attentional fatigue can leave us physically exhausted. When our surroundings shift frequently, anxiety often follows. Our five senses—sight, sound, touch, taste, and smell—serve as critical indicators, providing us with evidence of potential environmental threats. When we’re always on alert, our attention demands significant mental energy, making it vital to recognize and manage this fatigue for our overall well-being.Join us as we delve into the effects of constant attention on our mental and physical health. Discover strategies to mitigate attentional fatigue, enhance mindfulness, and learn how to navigate a fast-paced, fluctuating world. Remember, awareness is key—take care of your attention and walk well.Hey folks, let me know what you think about the Running Man Podcast.
