For the first time in many years, we have decided not to watch the Eurovision Song Contest. 😔

Sometimes, turning off the television is also a way of taking a stand. 🌈

@volkris ... so by "distraction" I mean "hard-wired" distraction, because our nervous system likes this shortcut (even if it may be harmful), rather than it being "planned" by others.

It's so important, right now, that we are mindful, centered, and rested, so we can really perceive the bigger patterns.
