Reply to Mindfulness-based attention training vastly improves the focus and emotional regulation of high school students by TimTars
Personal anecdote. I went to a CBT therapist about 8 years ago and it changed my life. It was the gateway drug into meditation and mindfulness training. Not only did it help with my anxiety, it allowed me to improve focus on activities such as reading or studying. I became more aware of my attention.

Reply to Scientists have proved goldfish do have good memories and are able to navigate their surroundings. A team from Oxford University trained nine fish to travel 70cm (2.3ft) and back, receiving a food reward at the end. The study disproves the long-held belief goldfish have little or no memory. by Tardigradelegs
Obviously goldfish are able to navigate their surroundings.

Reply to comment by bread93096 in Free Will Is Only an Illusion if You Are, Too by greghickey5
Do you meditate? The experience you describe is explicit in that state. The term "free will" seems useful in situations involving the law. Otherwise, everyone would get an insanity plea. But I do agree with you.
