Attention Is a Basic Intelligence

The basic intelligences we use in our thinking are known to people through talking about the intelligences related to:

• Cognitive memory.
• Stored experiences.
• Logical, perceptual thinking.
• Emotional intelligence.
• Social intelligence.
• Perception, adaptation and present awareness.

Yet there is mindfulness, or attention to movements and actions, and awareness in the state of attention. What matters is that attention moves on the basis of perceptual choice. Attention involves multiple aspects related to it, especially those that include important aspects connected to a single subject. Attention means choosing a behavior; your mind chooses what to attend to.

The Benefit of Attention

You can now adjust the attention you have been used to giving, and choosing your reason for attending ties your attention to the choice of its target. Through attention, you can let go of negative aspects so that you can change your habits, change your reactions, and focus on another aspect that is important and beneficial to you and your relationships. Your attention is a choice of your mind. Practicing thinking requires the attention with which you think, and you are able to increasingly direct your thoughts so that the energy of your thoughts is tied to useful and important ideas.

• Such as attending to your relationships and the importance of attending to your feelings and communication.
• Such as attending to your outlook on life and to your care in communicating with your family and friends.
• Such as attending to your profession, your duties and work duties, and focusing on carrying them out.
• Attention is a good opportunity to increase your fitness.

Training is practiced around the world in the field of awareness, developing perception and developing knowledge, and all published training relies on continuous practice, hands-on practice and ongoing application. Attention strengthens all mental training, and it is practiced, maintained and continued to the point of being stored and becoming a mental habit.
