how is your media diet shaping your experience?
For better or worse, we have access to more information (and misinformation) than ever. And it’s hard to escape it. Twenty-four-hour news channels. Social media. Podcasts. YouTube. Group texts.
I’m sure there was a time when more information would have been beneficial. Imagine waiting weeks to receive updates from a loved one overseas. Or, think about why we celebrate Juneteenth—it took two years for the news of the end of the Civil War, and with that, the freeing of all enslaved individuals. The lack of distributed information channels allowed the news to remain a secret from some for years—today, that’s unlikely to happen.
So, yes, we are better off with access to more information.
But many are seeing this access to information shape their perspective on life and, ultimately, their experience, and I fear it is making their experience one filled with fear, hate, and disappointment, moving them further from their Authentic Lives.
Back in 2024, I gave a talk about the importance of regaining control of your mind—this talk is even more relevant today than it was back then.
Remember the second part of the alignment of spirit, mind, body, and money.
How is your media diet impacting your alignment?
How is your media diet impacting your Authentic Life?
How is your media diet impacting your life experience?
How can you stay informed while remaining in control of your mind so you can continue to pursue your Authentic Life rather than be part of someone else’s?
Unfortunately, I don’t have the answers for you.
Only you do.
See you tomorrow and keep pursuing,
