Episode 3667: Stepping away from his smartphone, Colin Wright reflects on how constant connectivity can subtly erode our ability to stay present and engaged with real-life moments. His insights encourage us to reconsider our relationship with technology, highlighting the value of balance between sharing experiences and fully living them. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://exilelifestyle.com/tweeting/ Quotes to ponder: “Sharing is great, but if you give away your life before taking the time to experience it yourself, you’re missing out on everything.” “I was making myself ignorant, pushing all of that information out of my mind and into this tiny little device.” “Balance is so key to this. If you go completely off-grid, you miss out on some of the marvelous things that are happening in the interconnected space. If you go into full-phone-absorption mode, you miss out on the world around you.” Episode references: The Power of Now: https://www.amazon.com/Power-Now-Guide-Spiritual-Enlightenment/dp/1577314808 Learn more about your ad choices.
