This is about attention, & it’s one of the most valuable assets we have. It creates what we build, how we parent, how we lead, how we love, how we regulate, & the legacy we leave behind. When our attention is fractured, our life fragments with it. If our nervous system is constantly bracing, our children feel it. When we are emotionally numb, our joy shrinks too.
I don’t want you to be “better.”
I want you to be settled.
Your kids are learning what adulthood feels like by watching you live it. If you’re always braced, they will be too. This is where that stops.
Decide. Your attention is not for sale anymore, your nervous system is not an algorithm’s playground, & your presence is not a billion dollar experiment. You worked too hard for this life to experience it through a haze. Keep the apps & the phone, but let’s burn the unconscious dependency.
