EPISODE SUMMARYIn the ever-changing world of technology, we’ve grown so much as a society with unlimited access to information. But as you and I both know, often times this ability to search for anything, anytime– from the palm of our hands– can be taken advantage of. How often have we been told generation after generation that our patience and attention span is declining? We know it's true. Even I’m guilty of hopping onto social media or my smartphone when I’m supposed to be doing a million other things. But did you know– the average attention span back in 2004 was roughly 2 and a half minutes… and today, the modern attention span has declined to 47 seconds. That’s how much our population has changed in less than 2 decades. And this rapidly changing mental capacity certainly has implications on our overall health. In this podcast, attention expert Dr. Gloria Mark is here to shed light on the connection between constantly shifting our focus and attention all over the place– and the eventual burnout that comes from it. Dr. Gloria Mark has been studying the effects of technology on our attention span for years, so she’s here to educate us on how detrimental certain aspects of technology can be to our mental state– and to our overall health. She talks about some of the most popular social media apps, and how these can quickly lead to burnout in your day-to-day– without you even realizing it. But don’t worry, she goes through some much-needed recommendations that we can all implement to help us reduce the burden society today has put on our minds and bodies because of our multitasking efforts. You won’t want to miss the strategies she discusses, and how important it is to keep our focus on the present and not jump around from one thing to the next. Recognizing this distraction is the first step to making the change to preserve our mental capacity, therefore improving our overall quality of life! So listen here, and start making simple changes to reduce burnout and feel your best. IN THIS EPISODE How our attention span has changed in the modern digital age The consequences of multitasking  How social media is impacting our mental bandwidth How to minimize digital distractions   The different types of attention  Strategies and recommendations for conserving and replenishing attention resources The importance of improving your quality of sleep and rest Balancing work and personal life  Gaining control over your attention Shifting your focus to achieve optimal well being  RESOURCES MENTIONEDDr. Gloria Mark’s WebsiteDr. Gloria Mark’s Book– Attention Span: A Groundbreaking Way to Restore Balance, Happiness, and Productivity.Dr. Gloria Mark’s Book– Attention Span: Finding Focus for a Fulfilling Life Gloria Mark in the News Connect with Dr. Gloria Mark! This Episode is Sponsored by Olive and June.

Episode SummaryAfter everything we’ve been through in the past few years, anxiety in our population is at an all-time high. You may have felt it yourself. Dr. Tâmara Castelo has seen this firsthand with her patients. After over 12 years in her career as a doctor, once the pandemic hit she had to shift her way of working. She needed to figure out the best ways to reduce anxiety in her patients to provide the best support through such a highly stressful time. As an expert in Chinese medicine, she has tons of experience helping others move out of a state of anxiety. And she helps patients understand how to become more attuned to their bodies. This helps reduce anxiousness, tension, stress, and discomfort.We often forget to connect with our body or really tap into what our body needs. So often, stress and anxiety can actually present physically in our bodies. Understanding what these physical manifestations mean can help us get to the real root of the problem. In this podcast, Dr. Castelo teaches us about how our body tries to speak to us when we’re constantly experiencing things like anxiety and perceived stress, pain, or migraines.She’ll also dive into the discussion of sleep, and how to prioritize it to help manage our physical and mental health. She’ll explain to you the secret to the optimal amount of sleep you should get every night. If you’ve been dealing with anxiety, migraines, body aches, or stress– this podcast is for you. Dr. Castelo teaches us so much about looking into your body and recognizing what it needs. You can make these observations of your body through powerful rituals that Dr. Castelo explains further in this show. She goes deeper into this concept in her book The Power of Rituals: Small Habits, Big Changes for your Well-being and Health. But listen to this podcast now to immediately start implementing these simple and effective rituals to ease your anxiety and improve your life! Plus, don’t forget that today’s the last day to enter the 500th episode giveaway on the Essentially You podcast!
