FLASHBACK! KEW Episode 4: Quiet vs. Distraction

Do you ever have trouble sleeping?

Do you sometimes struggle with what to do next? Analysis paralysis style?

How about when you are by yourself in a crowd. Do you feel like you have to pull out your phone?

Personally, I have trouble just ‘being’, sometimes.

And it’s really kind of funny, because deep down, that’s all I really want.

And I think a lot of us are like this.

We crave peace. Calm. Even solitude sometimes. Yet when we have these ‘quiet moments’, we don’t know what to do.

Well I’ll be the first one to say, it isn’t our fault. We’ve been surrounded by distraction our entire lives.

And it’s getting worse.

I’m not going to suggest we give up the internet and our smart phones, but these technological advancements come with a cost.

And that cost is our attention. We’ve lost control of it.

This Episode is exceptionally relevant to the Are vs Should Problem currently being discussed weekly on Knowledge + Experience = Wisdom.

Our relationship with ourselves is timeless.
