Power Down and Tune In to Solitude | A conversation with Pema Chodron & Bill Moyers

Great advice in this video from Pema Chodron on the importance of taking time to not allow ourselves to be distracted by electronics, Facebook, and especially our own thoughts, desires, worries, fantasies, habits of thinking or being taken over by our thoughts.  She states that it is our own minds/thoughts/anxieties/etc. that are making us suffer and  keeping us from being content.
