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

Recently I have been hyper focused on managing my life, pushing to follow what I love, and try to provide for myself more. But with that I have also had strange mood spikes and been stressing far more. My brain is constantly go, go, going. So somedays my body just can’t go. I get moody and I feel exhausted. And it’s in these moments I have to treat my body as if I were caring for a toddler. I nap, I eat, I play, I try to hit all the basics. These breaks make me feel anxious, like I have no time. But, learning to know when my body and mind need a break makes me feel in tune with myself, pushing me to focus on my heath over my productivity.

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.
