Quotes About Intensify

Attention is malleable. We can intensify it, shift it either voluntarily or involuntarily. We can soften it, diffuse it.

Think of a time when you felt really good. Now, step inside that time and see through your eyes, hear through your ears, and feel the really good feeling all the way through your body.

Start to intensify the good feeling.
