'Digital Ambient Awareness' Practice
One month into my 'digital ambient awareness' practice, what am I learning?
First of all, that I need continually to remind myself of my purpose/m.o.: to bring to my awareness and express (via Twitter and Facebook, each in unique ways) what I am doing in or near that moment, and to do this several times each day.
Secondly, I don't need an audience to do this.
Thirdly, looking back at these mini-blogs certainly shows me my tracks more clearly than my memory does. I probably will be able to discern patterns, although I can't yet. Patterns I want to look for include 'how do I stay in the flow of resourceful energy?', or alternatively, 'how do I fall out of that?'. Resourceful energy, high or low, is a new (for me) way of looking at how I flow through my days.
Fourthly, the practice shows signs of very slowly attracting fellow practitioners, all of us adjusting to the nature of the site (Facebook: light yet honest, Twitter: as deep as I want to express a succinct chunk (aided by restricted following so I'm not distracted by fear of fallout), IL: here I get to string the thoughts together to make some sense of my experiencing - so glad for this space/sense of ambient fellowship.
Fifthly, I don't need to react to what's going on around me on these sites: nieces courting disaster on F/bk? 'Bless 'em'; anguish on Twitter? 'Spacious holding'; flurries on IL? 'practice discernment'.
My coach described this practice as 'attending to one's own personal experience as object'. Hmmm ..., another pass of the stick on the ground - I'm getting another layer of what this is about.
