The first North American telegraph line was established between Baltimore and Washington, with the inaugural message transmitted on May 24, 1844:
The Instantaneous Highway of Thought
Mindfulness is a process of intentional attention and observation of the present moment, without judgment.
In a complex, 24/7 global economy we are pulled in multiple directions at a rapid pace, leading to decreased focus, attention, creativity and productivity, thus reducing our ability to be mindful.
Can we leverage mobile technology to RE-MIND us and help us be more mindful?
Mindfulness
Technology can be used a reminder and adjunct to mindfulness practice
Tuning in by turning off is also necessary
We are in control, not vice versa
Mobile/Digital Tools
A digital tool for building mindfulness should support you in these three qualities:
Intention Attention Action
What to Look for in an App
The Choice is Yours….
