🧘♀️
Slowing down, following your breath, observing your surroundings. I feel like I’m constantly grabbing at things, substances, media, ideas, to distract me or comfort me— a common occurrence in our modern, overstimulating world. I’m trying to be better about just pausing, and moving with intention, making more informed decisions based on how I’m feeling in the moment, not just based on what I always do just for the sake of familiarity or habitual routines.

Slow down and think about what you’re really doing moment to moment
A lot of time and energy can be wasted trying to address too many things at once subconsciously
Occasionally check in with yourself to make sure you aren’t just anxiously passing time

I realized I started feeling really disconnected from myself when everything became routine and I was trying to do only what needed to be done. It's the little things that really help you come back to yourself. When it's 10 pm and you want a cherry soda, just go for a little walk and get one. That movie you wanted to see but don't know who to go with, just go yourself. That new place you wanna try. The little stickers that you haven't used yet. Just realizing what you like and what brings you joy and even what doesn't.
Also when I started feeling this way I pulled up some random internet list of 365 questions to ask yourself or journal about and now I try to write a couple lines to a question when I'm waiting on the kettle to boil or on the bus or something. The direction of having questions to reflect on helps me. Sometimes I end up on a tangent but it still helps me pull together memories and ideas.

I’ve learned that after a trip I always need to take 12 to 24 hours to help myself readjust back to my life. I find that giving myself that time to do simple housekeeping chores help me shift back into every day work mode.
If something goes wrong in my morning or some point of my day, I stop, take some deep breaths, and say to myself that a bad moment does not make a bad day. Something about that mindful shift really helps me leave that in the past and, be present.
