I found tears welling up in my eyes. And in virtual reality it's not exactly the same, of course, as putting on those virtual goggles, but it's kind of what we do when we're completely occupied in thoughts about the past and going over what happened in the past and worry or planning about the future or having little conversations with other people.
Ever thought about how games could help you find joy? In this episode of 'The One You Feed', host Eric Zimmer chats with Brian Tom O'Connor, an actor, theatre director, and author of 'Awareness Games: Playing With Your Mind to Create Joy'. Brian opens up about his struggle with depression and how he stumbled upon a source of joy and happiness hidden in everyday experiences.
The conversation kicks off with the familiar parable of the two wolves inside us, one good and one bad, and explores how feeding the 'good wolf' can transform our lives. Brian shares his unique approach of using games to enhance awareness, arguing that playful exploration can be more effective than traditional methods. He discusses the power of noticing what's present in our awareness, rather than getting caught up in thoughts about the past or future.
The episode dives into various awareness games from Brian's book, highlighting how these simple practices can bring clarity and peace. Whether you're curious about new ways to meditate or looking for tools to shift your perspective, this episode offers a refreshing take on finding joy through awareness.
