217. How to Be More Present in Your Life | An Unconventional Approach to Modern Mindfulness

When the smartest people in the world are designing apps to capture your attention, how do you choose mindfulness?

It’s not a secret that we live in a culture that’s inundated with distractions, more so than ever in history, and that means we need some modern mindfulness techniques to block it all out and be more present.

Luckily, Cory Allen will walk you through simple and clear ways to start getting present in the moment. You will learn how to be more mindful, reduce stress, and develop more mental clarity around what matters most to you — and our hope is that you will choose ONE thing that you can put in action immediately after listening to this episode.
