About this episode
Lindsay Hyatt discusses reclaiming autonomy and mental sovereignty in the context of the attention economy and online manipulation.
Our mind is not for sale. Our well-being is not for sale. Our joy is not for sale. Our spirits are not up for sale. It's time we take them back. It starts with awareness about how our attention is being manipulated online. The best part about beginning to understand how our participation in the attention economy is feeding the beast is that we can also realize the power we have in stepping back from it. We have the power to decide how we want our lives to FEEL- no matter what is going on in the world outside. Today's episode is part I in a series about reclaiming our autonomy, our mental sovereignty, and starting a movement that I'm calling "THE CALM REBELLION." We'll also explore: The Fear Loop why the internet isn’t as neutral as we think how fear and urgency quietly drive what we see why so many of us feel overwhelmed, distracted, or on edge and the possibility that… it’s not actually you, and that you have the power to change it right now. This isn’t about unplugging from the world or pretending nothing is happening. It’s about recognizing the environment we’re in—and questioning whether we were ever meant to live like this.
