Here is something important to think about.  Our brains, and thus our actions, can move from a broadly tunned to a tightly focused state.  We all know this at some level.  When you concentrate hard on a given task, for example, you may not respond to various intruding events; they are blocked.  When you are in, lets say, a potential haunted house, evey little squeak or creak will grab you attention.  The trick is to learn how to move between these broad beam and narrow beam activities in a fluid fashion. 

This is not alway easy.  The brain can literally shut out information or be receptive to that same information depending upon our state of mind.  This is an important fact for adaptive behavior, and thus our healthy approach to the world.  We need to learn when to focus tightly and when to be open.  Here a qualified coach can be an enormous help.
