While I don’t have a smartphone, I do have an iPad. This week I learned about propinquity from the meditation app Calm. Propinquity is a concept in psychology that “the things that are closest to you in physical space have the biggest effect on your psychological experience of the world.”  Interesting.

While driving home the other day from a very relaxing visit with a friend, my whole body felt tense. What the monkey-butt is going on? I know intellectually I have nothing to be uptight about, but my body is telling a different story. I’ve never suffered from anxiety but now I seem to have this constant underlying feeling that I’m always twenty steps behind.

For more reasons than I can list, I think I have to get off the denial train about the affect technology is having on my overall sense of peace. Instead of thinking of all the reasons “I need” my iPad close to be efficient, I’m going to get honest about the realization that its proximity to me is the precise reason why I almost always feel ineffective.
