Evaluating Media with a Fresh Mind

The Daily Om has a great post today on evaluating media with a fresh mind.

"It is up to us to seek out and support media that empowers and informs us, and to say no to media that drains our energy and our hope. "

They also talk about considering a media fast, so that when we return to consuming electronic info, we will approach what we take in with a fresh mind.  "A media fast," says Daily Om, "involves not watching television, reading any newspapers or magazines, checking or sending any e-mails, or even talking on the phone."

Have you taken a media fast?  If so, for how long?  How did it impact your return to taking in daily electronic input?

You're great!

Rabbi Shlomo of Karlin used to say:

"The worst fault a person can have is to forget his intrinsic greatness as a human being."




Life gets crazy sometimes.  Things change.  People move on.  Clients move on.  Priorities shift. All of these can have an impact on you forgetting to take care of yourself.  

Today, reaffirm your commitment to being gentle with yourself.  Renew your work on self-talk.
