Mindfulness is not one more thing we gotta do. It's a personal limit on the doing.
Ever wondered if our obsession with technology is more about coping than craving? In this episode of 'Kind Mind', Michael Todd Fink takes a deep dive into the role of mindfulness in our tech-driven lives. With his unique blend of art, science, and spirituality, Michael reflects on his personal journey with technology, starting from his recent decision to get a new iPhone.
He challenges the narrative that technological advancement is solely driven by consumer demand, highlighting the influence of powerful entities like governments and corporations. Michael argues that our constant need for digital devices stems from a world engineered to demand our attention, rather than genuine interest. He explores how mindfulness and meditation have been commodified as productivity tools, rather than practices for true mental and spiritual well-being.
By sharing anecdotes and historical references, Michael paints a vivid picture of how we've become trapped in a cycle of busyness and digital dependency. He encourages listeners to view mindfulness as a form of rebellion - a way to reclaim our natural rhythms and focus on being rather than doing. This episode is a must-listen for anyone feeling overwhelmed by the demands of modern life and looking for a way to reconnect with themselves.
So, are you ready to un-commodify your attention and find balance in a tech-crazed world?
