Actually, within focused mode, there are two very important distinctions:

One way of "focusing" is narrow, detached, analytic, emphasizing "me" over here and the rest of the world (or whatever "I" am focusing on) over "there."

Another way of focusing - still different from diffused mode - is wide, immersed, intuitive, emphasizing the connection between self and other, and here and there.

Interestingly, as you get familiar with these different brain states, they begin to meld and flow into one another. One starts to naturally, intuitively sense what mode is more helpful for one activity vs another.

We devote a whole week of our 12 week brain training course to exploring these different kinds of attention - see www.RememberToBe.Life

If you're interested in further explanation, Dr. Iain McGilchrist has wonderful videos on this, and has spent 30 years studying attention. Dr. Dan Siegel has more practical applications of the kind of work McGilchrist does; you might enjoy looking up his 'wheel of awareness" meditations on youTube.

And Dr. Les Fehmi has now spent about 50 years using simple attention exercises to:

Cure depression, ADHD and anxiety

Help couples dramatically improve their relationships

Reduce all kinds of chronic pain

train Olympic athletes

and much more.
