Ep. 8 - Pausing The Linear Flow of Time
Ann and Carol expand the discussion on “Make Every Moment Count” - a previous blog post authored by Ann. They talk about what it means to “Be in The Moment”. They share insights from each other’s experience on why it’s important to practice more mindfulness in our daily lives, and what are the obvious and not so obvious reasons to do so.
Other takeaways include what makes being in the moment so difficult these days and when you do it, it’s like a form of meditation which research has shown has demonstrably positive effects on our overall well-being. They share tips, tools, and techniques on how to practice present moment awareness and how doing so expands time and can actually pause the linear flow.
