Broad and Narrow Focus  Email this Article to a Friend
Jack Nicklaus described going from a broad to narrow focus on the golf course with every shot he hit. This is something you unwittingly do off the course at various times. Your goal is to learn to voluntarily move from a broad to narrow focus. Once you recognize situations in which you already practice a broad to narrow focus, you will see how accessible it is. For example, when you read a book in which you are interested, your thoughts are narrowly focused on everything you read. When you read content that is not interesting, you easily lose your focus. The same focus occurs when you watch television. Commercials take you away from a narrow focus on the program content. Sexual behavior is another example of a narrow focus. For women, an inability to focus or a loss of interest causes a deterioration in performance or a less than pleasurable experience. For men, too narrow a focus too soon results in intense arousal, thoughts and images of the sexual experience and then "early" or "premature" performance. You have the ability to focus on a specific sensation anytime you choose. Think about the feeling of your big toe on your right foot. That information was always being transmitted through your nervous system to your brain. You simply used a mechanism in your brain stem to focus your attention there. This is an example of a narrow focus. The more precise your attention is, the more narrow your focus becomes. Thinking about the sensations of your big toe on your right foot is a narrow focus. When practicing a broad or narrow focus, be certain your breathing is deep, diaphragmatic and rhythmic and that you make no sudden or abrupt movement. Your movement should be unhurried and deliberate.
