I hope you’re getting some sunshine – the roses here in Cordovado are in bloom, and after picking up my car in Austria (post-accident repairs!), I even braved a quick dip in freezing Attersee lake in the Salzkammergut.
Today to celebrate May Day, I have a little gift for you: a 2-minute video: “From Distraction to Presence: Inside the Launch of Embody”
Link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JObooS6sKxw
In it, I share why I wrote Embody: The Power of Presence in an Age of Distraction. If you’re tired of being told to “just stop scrolling,” this is for you.
I don’t want you to get frustrated when you hear “just be mindful” about social media. These platforms are scientifically designed to keep you hooked by triggering unconscious biases and implicit attitudes-patterns. Research shows these are as powerful as substance addiction. So it’s not your fault if you can’t stop.
But there is something you can do — just watch the video and find out.
I think you’ll find it inspiring.
Wishing you all a very happy May Day.
Please get outside for a walk and increase your BQ – body intelligence – by soaking up the rejuvenating power of nature.
That’s exactly what I’ll be doing as soon as I finish writing.
Love,
Andrena
