Your mind will go where your body takes it. If you tap the “Words with Friends” icon on the phone, you will begin spelling. If you tap Starbucks, you may find yourself in the car headed down the road toward a soy latte and croissant. We tend to ignore or discount our body’s part in our lives, but the habit of picking up a phone can lead us astray in seconds.
But bodies can also help us. Sour or sad mood? Try standing up tall and smiling. Weirdly. the right posture can fix a bad mood. So can baubles and trinkets, whether earrings or Imperial military decorations. Sometimes we simply have to fake it until we make it.
Wear the spiffy hat. Feel the spiffy hat. Be the spiffy hat.
And put the phone down for awhile in favor of larger screens — or even the great outdoors.
Zombie phrase for the day: I can see the truth. I am having trouble articulating it.
