How to be more functional

We live in a time where our environment is constantly changing and our society is living in survival mode. When stressed, our thinking mind acts with speed instead of depth, trying to get things done instead of acting intentionally. There is no time for consideration, discernment and deeper thinking. These are key ingredients for living functionally.  In this episode Ava talks about functionality and why it is her # 1 goal. Listen in to learn some tips and ideas about how you can be more functional in your life.    Relevant links:    RAIN technique meditation Guided meditation: Using being for healing  Free workshops  Silent Retreat dates  Chapter markers:    00:00 Introduction to the topic, functionality as a biological desire  01:13 Understanding functionality in the context that we live in  4:20 The lack of intentionality in the survival paradigm  7:00 How the thinking mind works and sees the world  9:20 Living on the surface vs living intentionally  12:38 How to be more functional? 14:43 Thank you for listening and an update about our new free workshops and upcoming silent retreat dates.  Increasing accessibility to functional healing + non-dual spiritual oneness: www.functionalspirituality.com   Free resources: Newsletter sign-up:  A monthly update for me on new offers and the energy of the month.
