Reclaim Your Mind: Attention Activism in the Digital Age | Jay Vidyarthi


Listen Later

How do we stay aware in a world designed to steal our attention?

This week, we sit down with Jay Vidyarthi — designer, tech founder, meditation teacher, and author of Reclaim Your Mind: Seven Strategies to Enjoy Tech Mindfully — to explore what it means to live mindfully with technology instead of fighting against it.

We look at how our phones, apps, and algorithms are constantly training our nervous systems, and how awareness itself can change the relationship. Jay calls this attention activism: a way of reclaiming choice and joy in a tech-infused world.

----------------------------

“Freedom of attention is a fundamental right. It’s a natural resource… and it’s being exploited.”- Jay Vidyarthi

----------------------------

In this Episode, We talk about:

* The invisible pull of notifications and how to stay present in real time

* How to turn tech boundaries into rituals of pleasure

* What false urgency does to our nervous systems and how to step out of it

* How our conversations with AI can become mirrors for awareness

* Why we need mindful, creative people shaping the future of technology!

The Adventure:

Jay guides us through a real-time experiment to feel the physical and psychological pull of our devices. Then transform that into presence!

This episode is an invitation to stay grounded, curious, and capable of wonder in the midst of the digital age.
