From the Program: Limit Your Love
Following, a quick excerpt of one of the program sessions. It's one discussing close-up time. If you are in my program, it comes after learning about measuring your eyes, after getting a close-up prescription, after active focus. After you learn all sorts of handy tangible things to make a difference. And then, once in a while, we have to get a bit philosophical.This one applies to everyone, regardless of whether you're just a casual reader or serious about your eyeball health.

Video: Habits & Mindfulness
If you've been having an interesting experience making friends with your eyes, you might enjoy this new video.A few things of note:I'm not naturally the mindful-hippie-yoga-meditation type.If you're not either, rest assured that everything I bring up here, is first sent through a finely tuned hippie-BS filter.
