Are you tuned in to your surroundings, or does life constantly take you by surprise?
I’m sitting here watching this TED lecture on repeat because it’s just the most fascinating thing ever. The topic: changing how we educate our kids. Part of the problem, Ken Robinson says, is we’re more overstimulated than a classroom of toddlers on Surge.
The video is neat because it shows how much the world has changed in the last century but how little we as a species have managed to keep up. Evolution just doesn’t happen that fast. The result: 7 billion monkeys that are not equipped for modern living, so many of are overwhelmed and numb.
I’m tired of seeing people so frazzled. So today I’m going to teach an easy way to get back in touch with your senses so you can feel more alive and be more aware of what’s going on around you. You won’t have to join a monastery and start meditating 5 hours a day. In fact, you can start seeing results this afternoon.
