So shifting to something sensory could be nature, petting our dog, tuning into our body, giving ourself a hug, big shift.

We can do that for free.

It's cheap, no technology needed.

That's the tool we want.

But boy, we need extra help.

It's really hard these days.

We are so bombarded by...

stressful things in the world and in our personal lives, I'll accept all the help I can get.

So I, you know, I use things like HeartMath Monitor on and off.

I recently had a conversation with Jon Kabat-Zinn, who has been, of course, practicing and teaching meditation most of his, all of his adult life.

And I'm a big proponent of Aura.

I'm also one of their science advisors.

So that's my disclosure for measuring stress in the body.

And so I was telling him how exciting it is to be able to, on a daily basis, I look forward to looking at what did my nervous system do during sleep?

And what was my stress response when this or that happened?

And at the end of the conversation,

He said, you know, that's wonderful, but I would never need that because look at this.

This is what I've been doing my whole life, this reading my body.

You know, and so that enhanced dedication to paying attention to the whole of us and interoceptive awareness is amazing.

supersedes and overrides our need for technology, but most of us are not being that mindful and we need that, could benefit from that help.
