YEAR OF ZEN: AUTUMN: DAY 17

Astronomer Copernicus, or Conversations with God - Jan Matejko

Q: This generation has access to more information than any other. It can get confusing. Acknowledge the challenge and where you are at with this.

A: With mindful attention and effort I have gotten better the last couple of years at avoiding the ongoing distraction of social media and our modern technological world. I still periodically fall down rabbit holes, but much less than I used to. One practice that has been good for me is leaving my phone in the kitchen at bedtime. This keeps me from doom scrolling before going to sleep. I also try and keep my computer closed when I am at home unless absolutely necessary. Small, but meaningful, actions. This very much remains a work in progress.
