My mini survAIval insight of the week: “Dogs are the best medicine in an AI automated future”

Overwhelmed by your daily responsibilities? Finding it hard to balance everything, including walking your dog?

Your dog is the kind that loves to sniff EVERYTHING and your blood pressure levels start to pump up. You're itching to get back to your pressing tasks at home. You are stressing yourself, the dog, and probably the world around you.

Having a dog teaches you to slow down. Dogs don’t have the grey part of our brains as develop as we do, thus, they don’t worry about the future and past. They don’t overthink stuff, they mostly live in the present.

Live in the present, a skill that is going to be A MUST in the new era.

There’s going to be a moment that we won’t be able to cope with all the new continuous information, transformations, and challenges in the AI era. If we push too hard, we will surely burn out.

A book that help me a tone to change my perspective about the workaholic culture we live in is “Rest” by Alex Soojung-Kim Pang.

We need to pause, reset, and recharge if we want to survive the new era. Take your best friend as a good example, and take them for a long walk ;)

Stay Kind!
