WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME you intentionally sat in silence for a few
minutes?
🌴 No distractions. Nothing in your hands. Nothing within earshot or within sight to capture your attention. Was that moment earlier today? Yesterday? Can't even remember? You're certainly not alone.
🌴 Let's try an experiment. For one minute, close your eyes and notice the thoughts that come up. They might seem incredibly random and disorganized. The chaos inside the modern mind is always there, ruining our ability to focus and remain present. Is it any wonder we're so frazzled and distracted?
🌴 Let's say you notice that your computer is running slowly. Thinking something is wrong with it, you turn to a computer expert. The first
thing any technician would ask is how many applications you have open and how many programs are operating in the background.
🌴 That's a good question to ask about your own brain. Because unlike the computer, you can't run multiple programs efficiently. The more you try to multitask, the more mistakes you make: one study showed that error rates were three times higher when participants were given two goals instead of one
🌴 That computer technician, by the way, would tell you to update all your applications as well as your operating system, then do a cold hard of your computer to refresh everything. We're asking you to do the thing.
🌴 That hard reboot will reset your mind for better, more efficient function, atart this.
