Your Attention Shapes Your Reality: RAS Explained

Описание: Your attention and perception quietly shape the life you experience.
In this video, we explore the attention theory and the Reticular Activating System (RAS) — your brain’s filtering system that determines what you notice, what you ignore, and ultimately, what feels possible for you.

If manifestation has ever felt confusing, this grounded psychological explanation may change everything.
