I've really been thinking about how in our society, we tend to always have something distracting us. I know I definitely struggle with that. So I have been brainstorming ways to help me stay more present in my thoughts.
My favorite idea is to have a TV/music free day, or more than one day. I am planning on doing this tomorrow and blogging about it on Saturday. I realized that I needed to do this on Tuesday when I realized that I haven't been actively in my own thoughts in a while and that it is killing my creativity. So, I really want to craft without telly or music. I think it will be very beneficial for me to do that. I also think I will start sitting with my thoughts for an hour or so a day at least for a while and when I am in the car.
This will also give a nice respite from constantly doing something. My life lately has been more about completing tasks in someways than about being happy, and that is NO way to live life. To me life is first about being happy, second about making others happy, and then everything else.
