#WorkingMeditation #111: Making our physical lives more magnetic

"Our upcoming innovations will cut two ways: they will make our online world more magnetic and attractive, and our offline one feel more tedious and boring by comparison. They will make it easier to forget that we are living organisms with built-in barometers that not only help us survive but thrive."

#WorkingMeditation #107: Solid jumping-off points and soft landings

"We don’t take risks or make big moves until we have a source of stability to support us. After we've taken the leap and done this big or uncomfortable thing we wanted to do―the hard job, the birth, the exam, the race, or something else―we hope to land back in a place of softness, ease, comfort and nurturing."

#WorkingMeditation #105: Lucky, and we don't even know it (India Diaries)

"Everyone gets these inflexion points, where worlds meet and we get a view into the lives of others with markedly different histories. A vantage point that can help us see our ecological niche differently and hopefully value the things we take for granted."

#WorkingMeditation #104: Touch (India Diaries)

"We can see, hear and smell from afar but taste and touch are the two senses that invite closeness. And how we touch, like other expressions of care, is personal but also very cultural."

#WorkingMeditation #102: Daily caregiving (India Diaries)
"When the same people come into our homes daily over the years, bit by bit, we get to know about them and their families. We share food, tea, and old winter blankets. The stuff we've outgrown or don't have room for doesn’t go to unseen people; the people who care for us get first dibs and we can see the impact of our generosity, which trains us to be more generous."

#WorkingMeditation #100: Yoda on demand

"When it feels like we're getting punched in the face by life, our first and most frequent source of wisdom is the self. And what we feed our brains in our downtime is what we call upon when we step into the arena."

#WorkingMeditation #98: The loves of our life (India Diaries)

#WorkingMeditation #94: Body as an instrument
"Modern tech would have you believe that intelligent life can operate without a body, while simply simulating the predictive capacity of the brain. What we completely miss is that true intelligence isn't just prediction, it's also compassion and resilience birthed from painful surprises."
