"Between stimulus and response there is a space. In that space lies our freedom to choose our response. In our response lies our growth and our freedom". Viktor Frankl. STOP! Just pause for a moment... TAKE A BREATH Notice your breathing as you breathe in and out. In through the nose, out through the mouth. OBSERVE What thoughts are going through your mind right now? What are you reacting to? What sensations do you notice in your body? PULL BACK - PUT IN SOME PERSPECTIVE *DON'T BELIEVE EVERYTHING YOU THINK!* What's the bigger picture? Take the helicopter view. What is another way of looking at this situation? What advice would I give a friend? What would a trusted friend say to me right now? Is this thought a fact or opinion? What is a more reasonable explanation? How important is this? How important will it be in 6 months time? It will pass. PRACTICE WHAT WORKS - PROCEED What is the best thing to do right now? What is the most helpful thing for me, for others, for the situation? What can I do that fits with my values? Where can I focus my attention right now? Do what will be effective and appropriate. Hope it serves

Inspired by Cal Newport's book "Digital Minimalism", I'll be taking a 30 day digital detox. This means no social media and far less time on screens. The mental health implications of all of our new technologies are clear- the more time we spend on them, the less well we do. Interested in joining the movement? Get in touch through email, phone, or my website! ... See ya'll on the other side!
