The Surprising Truth About Information Overload

*This is a legacy episode from the earlier version of this show called "Unleash Your Soul Song" with Becki Fleischer. 

Have you ever felt that the whispers from your soul were getting drowned out by the fast and shallow noise of cable news cycles, mobile phone alerts and notifications, emails, text messages, and social media? Is the dopamine-seeking reward loop that keeps us scrolling and searching for more information the problem? Or is it the high-stakes challenges we are facing in the world right now with a pandemic, social unrest, and economic uncertainty? Whatever the reason, one thing is for certain - our heads are always on the hunt for more.  More information, more stories, more data, more proof to make our points and it distracts us from our tasks, reduces our productivity, and makes it hard to hear the whispers calling us to our higher-wisdom. This never-ending information hunt interferes with our natural thought processes, inhibiting logic, creativity, and innovation. Instead, it creates action paralysis, trapping us in research cycles or indecision that keeps us stuck. With so many articles written about information overload and so many tools at our disposal to help us manage it, why do we allow ourselves to keep getting so overwhelmed? I’ve got a theory that I’m exploring with you today that might just make you pause. This approach has helped me reframe my relationship with information and supercharged my journey to the edge of becoming. I invite you to explore with me and see if this reframing might also help you in your pursuit to unleash your soul song.  xoB
