Did you know our ancestors, the hunter/gatherers, had a work week of just 20 hours. Yes, they worked only 20 hours a week.
When you consider all of our ancestors going way back that means we all did that for literally millions of years. That is how our bodies were meant to function.
Have you wondered why you feel tired most of the time?
It isn't because the body is physically exhausted. It's not like you're working the farm 16 hours a day, ploughing behind a horse.
We are exhausted from distraction!
We are bombarded with all sorts of things vying for our attention. And all of those things claim to be important.
Yep that next meme on Facebook is going to be the thing I have been waiting for all my life. "Damn! Another cute cat picture."
I can't emphasize enough that unplugging from all of this is absolutely essential for our mental, emotional and even spiritual health.
Considering that:
Stress is a contributing factor to pretty much every physical illness and
Constant distraction and multitasking is a known, severe stressor
It stands to reason that we must UNPLUG! But how?
Before we can talk about how we must become convinced that we must. That it is not a luxury but an absolute necessity.
That is what Lisa and I will be discussing on the next OM School Live.
