A balance between stimulus-response functioning and inward reflection using attention spotlights is essential for a well-lived life.

“it boiled down basically to two things which was to acknowledge that we're in stimulus response a lot of the day and how to be functional in that domain was a lot of that conversation but that there's this essential aspect to life which is to get out of stimulus response and bring that those spotlights of attention Inward and to think and to reflect and then go back into stimulus response and when we just sleep wake up and go into stimulus response all day or if we go meditate all day and are not in stimulus response neither is good so it's that balance”
