"What is the deeper, healthy emotional need that is driving this?"
How do people find strength in their journey to sobriety? In this engaging episode of The One You Feed, host Eric Zimmer sits down with Jay Vidyarthi to chat about the delicate dance between technology and mindfulness. Jay, a meditation practitioner and tech enthusiast, shares his insights on building a healthier relationship with digital tools. He challenges the black-and-white thinking that often surrounds technology, suggesting instead that we can harness its benefits while setting mindful boundaries.
Jay talks about the wolves within us, a metaphor for the constant battle between our better and lesser selves, and how technology can feed either wolf depending on our awareness. The conversation covers practical strategies for identifying which digital interactions genuinely nourish our well-being and which are just emotional junk food. With humour and honesty, Jay encourages listeners to reflect on their tech habits, asking what emotional needs they might be trying to meet.
Eric and Jay also explore the idea of a secure relationship with technology, comparing it to a balanced relationship with cupcakes—delicious but best enjoyed in moderation. They delve into the importance of noticing how different apps and platforms affect us emotionally, offering a fresh perspective on cultivating a mindful digital life. This episode isn't just about technology; it's a broader discussion on self-awareness and personal growth.
Jay's anecdotes and Eric's thoughtful questions create an engaging narrative that invites listeners to rethink their tech habits and embrace a more intentional approach. So, what wolf are you feeding today? Take a moment to reflect and see how you can foster a healthier relationship with your digital life.
