Technology has forever changed the quality and manner in which we experience life. It is now both our servant & master. It over-utilizes our minds and under-utilizes our bodies.
Society is rampant with stimulation and information overload which causes chronic overwhelm. Information itself is becoming an environmental pollutant. Living to one’s capabilities today demands that we learn how to let go of excessive input.
Models of psychology/behavior that don't account for the influence of technology are obsolete. They contain timeless elements but do not reflect the times we now live in as a whole.
The vast majority of day-to-day behavior has discernable origins. The purpose of Vitalogy is not to condemn or condone behavior but rather explain it, determine the motives and agendas behind it, and map out self-directed course-correcting strategies.
The unresolved physical and emotional issues of life, as well as the core concerns of one's life are stored in the body. The body never lies and therefore is a barometer for your life. These are the origins behind many mental and physical diseases. A diminished capacity to experience and express life is the result.
Posture acts as your physical identity and structural operating basis in life. Your body has a built-in instinct to stretch, stay loose, and self-adjust. Poor posture is the source of most solvable structural problems of the body.
Truth-based self-understanding is the essential element in producing motivating, successful, and permanent behavior modification. Vitalogy is based on self-responsibility, practical knowledge and common sense. Life today is becoming more about learning how to make as many aspects or elements of it your own.
Learning and forgiveness are two foundational skill-sets for greater living. They form the basis of manifesting a more meaningful life experience, grateful attitude, and a wider, more balanced perspective. It’s about mental and physical flexibility.
The experience of the human mind and body today, because of technology, is like none other in recorded history. We have gone from being roaming, walking, and moving to becoming stationary, sitting, and sedentary. This is fundamentally changing the way we are interfacing with our bodies and life itself. Our minds now endlessly process and in contrast to the body, are being over-worked.
Health-care is moving towards individual responsibility and self-knowledge. This includes administering self-care, while forming alliances with traditional and alternative practitioners who provide a wide scope of mutually compatible services.
