It\u2019s as if capturing pictures and videos is more valuable or important than the experience itself, and so they live everything through their camera screens. While certain moments in our lives prompt us to reach for our phones or cameras to capture that unfolding event and immortalize it into a visual memory, doing so comes with a cost. It takes us out of the actual moments\u2014out of fully living the experience.\u00a0In this episode, you\u2019ll hear about the value of fully immersing yourself in the present. I share what I learned from reading The Inner Game of Tennis and from playing a detective video game. I also reflect on returning to the curiosities of our eight-year-old selves and how our lives might be enriched more by being fully in the moment.\u00a0\u201cBe here, now. Put your phone down and take all your surroundings in through every one of your senses. How richer will your life be if you can resist the screen and be fully in the moment?\u201d - Kathy Sullivan\u00a0This week on Kathy Sullivan Explores:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Living life through screens\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Why performing theater companies ask the audience not to film or record shows\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Going back to our eight-year-old selves\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The challenge to explore with a sense of play\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0The sense of safety and security in reminiscing bygone days\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0How I learned to see without judgment by playing a video game\u00a0Resources Mentioned:\u00a0\u25cf\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0Book: The Inner Game of Tennis: The Classic Guide to the Mental Side of Peak Performance by W.
