ABSTRACT
The number of options and types of influences we are managing in the digital age make it challenging to understand what is really right for us. Sometimes it’s hard to distinguish between what we value and what we think we should value based on what we see on our phones, on social media, and through online and print marketing. As a society, we have reached a point where we need to actively choose to unplug, slow down, be alone, and pay attention to one another and the world around us. Making healthy decisions requires listening to your heart, feeling what is in your gut, knowing your own mind, and following your instincts-when you do this, you are following your own inner compass, the guiding interior force that indicates the right direction for you through awareness, perspective, forethought, and reflection. Tapping into your inner compass, however, requires focus.
