More tricks and tips for finding your personal unique life balance formula include: finding gifts in bad things (e.g. like COVID causing us to realize we need to spend more time in human connection and less time chasing money and “working”); recognizing healing energy vs. destroying energy; changing our internal representation of the world, aka perceptions of the world by using various techniques to reprogram our own brain; and automating our own behaviors along with our ‘automated’ interaction with devices.
