Mark Walker explores how we can return to ourselves after ghosting and develop practices for staying present in our lives, even when faced with challenges that might pull us away from our authentic selves. This episode focuses on practical techniques for coming back to ourselves through awareness, breath work, and cognitive flexibility.

• Ghosting ourselves happens when we give away our awareness and attention, often by numbing out to our truth
• Our brains are wired to take shortcuts, creating blind spots and cognitive misframes that cause us to disconnect
• Catching yourself before you ghost is a powerful practice for interrupting negative loops
• Journal prompt: when was the last time you caught yourself about to ghost? What helped you stay present?
• Insight feels good but is not integration - true transformation happens in our bodies, breath, and actions
• De-centering by speaking about yourself in the third person creates cognitive flexibility and wider perspective
• Community support is essential for transformation, not optional
• Staying present isn't about perfection but about practicing coming back again and again
