Amazing 2009: 11

The original forecast.

The back story.

Step 11: Best version of you by simply allowing it: more being and less doing. More walks, less e-mail. Snow-boarding rather than key-boarding. More inspiring literature, mountains, seashores, football in the park with the kids, home-baked bread, discovering new music…. remembering that dancing is exhilarating and however good The Wire is, too much screen stuff is trance-inducing. Txts exchanged with someone who cares for you: just like you did when you were kids. And a whole lot less hanging around complaining by the water-cooler with the guys from product marketing. There is an amazing version of you which can handle all this daily trivia and focus on what is really important, which doesn't let sensible anxiety get out of hand and become debilitating stress. Which knows deep down that however powerful technology is or might become there is nothing so powerful as humans properly connecting.
