Thank goodness part #2 was right there I was wondering how I was gonna find it it just stopped turning like when the power goes out your phone won’t work ha ha

Not just lockdown but for much longer people can't focus after abuse or trauma even if the abuse has ended. Hyper vigilance has destroyed so much human potential.

I am glad I made it to this part 2 - its full of wise observations and found these very relevant - esp the Bear example

[@bangturden7070]

thats good advice. i wondered why i couldn't do anything at home in lockdown. i knew i couldn't focus but i thought it was some kind of mild depression i was running away from with my constant research on corona stuff.

i had a teacher in 8thgrade that explained me this concept and she said everything even hypervigilance. since then i have known it in the back of my head for a while now.

Today I passed by a girl who had three separate windows open on her screen. In one, she was writing study notes. In another, she was reading the material. And at the top right of the screen, there was a window playing an episode of the office. I was like, HOW IS SHE GETTING ANYTHING DONE?

I really like this talk. Unfortunately, there continuous distractions in the video which contradict the message and I wish they were not there (bottom left to subscribe, top right for other videos)
