Detox - a podcast by Jessica Sun

A must-listen if you have racing thoughts and can’t focus well. Here are some useful techniques to detox and gain focus and clarity, as well as connect with yourself. 

Quotes to remember: 

“To be able to focus is your source of power.”

“There’s only a handful of thoughts that you constantly have in one day.” 

Takeaways:

• There is the acute detox and the general detox; acute detox is dramatic, like fasting, and general detox is ongoing
• Reduce all distraction, turn off notifications, put phone on airplane mode most of the day and in the night
• Books and novels count as media to detox from
• The constant back-and-forth switching of focus takes a huge toll on us and our minds
• Switch your mindset from always connected to always disconnected except for select moments of interaction
• Try leaving your phone in a different room or at home when you go out
• The real FOMO is fear of missing out on yourself

What you’ll learn:

• How to do a digital detox and a mental detox
• Techniques to limit your time with tech
• Three techniques to do a mental cleanse
• A different way to think about FOMO
