Are you starting to feel like everything going on in your life is just getting to be too much? Admittedly, most of us move through the day in hyperspeed. We wake up each day thinking about everything that needs to get done. Then we rush through work, answer messages while doing three other things at once, and then wonder why we still feel so tense and on edge at the end of the day. Slowing down sounds like a simple concept, but when you try to actually do that in your real life, it can be strangely hard to accomplish. [Read more…]

Technalink has always been a strong advocate for self-improvement, and one of the best ways to do this with long-term results and benefits is by developing a sense of mindfulness.

Mindfulness is one of the key techniques that Technalink has advocated that people develop. As with many things in life, mindfulness itself is just a technique or a tool, so it is what people decide to do with it that brings the real benefit. However, for many, mindfulness can be a cornerstone toward building what many people value: a greater sense of control. This control, however, is focused on one of the more “slippery” aspects of life, the inner life of the mind. [Read more…]

Technalink will always advocate for people to undertake self-improvement. The benefits of self-improvement are right in the name, as self-improvement of any kind means doing something for or about yourself that improves your living experience. However, while one of the best ways to pursue self-improvement is through correcting thoughts, behaviors, or actions, this goal is much better served when it’s done without criticism. [Read more…]

Technalink obviously believes that technology can be a positive force in contributing to well-being. However, that doesn’t mean we believe there are no negatives.
