- Am I right to think that the answer to the question "How do you change or train your reticular activation system (RAS)?" is: You change your RAS by: 🔹 Intention: Tell your mind what’s important. Example: “I want to see beauty and wholeness everywhere.” ➤ Do this daily. 🔹 Attention: Direct and redirect your focus toward what you want (beauty, wholeness, possibility). Your RAS will categorize that as important. 🔹 Repetition: Repeat the intention + attention every day until it becomes natural. 🔹 Emotion + Intermittent Reward: If you feel love, awe, joy, inspiration while doing it, you strengthen and accelerate the process.
