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 https://www.youtube.com/watch?si=v40iSAO0M5ukptxY&v=JObooS6sKxw&feature=youtu.be 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
