It’s a live pilot session so I can’t guarantee there will be a recording.
As many of you know I’m fascinated with ‘power habits’.
If we could only do 1 thing each day to improve our mental wellbeing what would have the most significant benefit?
It’s been my lifetimes work to find an answer and I’m still working on it.
My hunch is healthier phone habits would be in the top 3. I’ve got a range of hypotheses so the next step is lots of mini experiments. Please share the above invite far and wide - all welcome.
Inspiration
Personally the moment I knew something was wrong was when I found myself watching 30 mins of youtube every night which grew into 1 hour every night. And the thing was I wasn’t really watching anything with any real intent. I was just at the mercy of an algorithms suggestions. I was like the heroin addicts I occasionally see in the park - devoid of the awareness of what I was really doing and why I’d started in the first place.
The truth was I was lonely. I felt like there was a hole in my life but with zero clarity of what the hole looked like. Externally I’d ticked all the boxes. Internally something wasn’t right. Stopping the detrimental phone habit helped me acknowledge what I was really feeling and which in turn helped me plan how to improve things.
Maybe it could do the same for you?
Take 4 breaths now. Inhale. Hold for a few seconds, long slow exhale. Every conscious breath makes a difference.
