When was the last day when you didn't consume any media? Can't remember? Neither could I, until I began the reading deprivation exercise from Julia Cameron's acclaimed book and course The Artist's Way. In this episode, I do something you might not expect on a book podcast: I talk about the benefits of not reading for a week. This week, I'm cutting out all social media, videos, books, articles, podcasts, and more to see how it can create more space in my thoughts and my life.
The meditation in this episode provides you an opportunity to visualize what your day would look like if you removed all media consumption. You'll feel a sense of spaciousness, calm, and clarity as you imagine your routines distilled without distraction. And maybe, by the end of it, you'll feel inspired to implement a few shifts to allow yourself more space and clarity going forward. This episode invites you to imagine simplifying your life and concentrating your energy on what's most important. You'll especially enjoy this meditation if you often feel anxious or overwhelmed.
