Attention regulation

Attention regulation is the ability to start, stay with, and shift attention when needed. It can vary with stress, noise, or interest.

Definition

Attention regulation includes sustaining focus and switching between tasks. People may find it easier to focus on high‑interest tasks and harder to persist with boring ones. External structure, timers, and clear prompts can make attention more reliable. Support should be practical and kind, not punitive.

Why it matters here

NeuroBreath tools provide short focus routines that support attention without overload.
