Recalibrating Your Instrumentation
Download MP3The Big Idea: Our bodies provide a constant stream of vital data through our senses, yet we often shut it off in service of chasing outcomes.
Key Highlights:
- The depth of the "hidden" senses, including proprioception (placement in space) and balance.
- The danger of only noticing "outliers" (extreme pain or joy) while missing the nuanced details of daily life.
- The "One Thing at a Time" rule: Learning to isolate senses to build stronger awareness.
Mindfulness Minute: Perform a 60-second "body scan." Isolate one sense—what is the exact light level in the room, or the specific texture of the food you are eating?
Memorable Quote: "The present moment is so full of information that it's very easy to get overwhelmed by it."
