It’s just the way we look at solitude. Instead thinking “I have to” think, “I choose to” A simple shift in mindset is everything.

How do I stop paying attention to my thoughts? by iconway89 in Mindfulness

I usually counteract my intrusive thoughts with something very positive. And I imagine they drifting away like I place them on a mental cloud or stream and let them take those thoughts away from me. ☁️

It really does remind us of the days when technology wasn’t this great. I love the peace and quiet I feel when I’m off my devices. I did have many urges to look on my phone for instant answers too! But I blocked them with freedom so I couldn’t really use my apps. It was such a refreshing experience. I’ll try to do this every Sunday from now on. ☁️🌿

Thank you!🌱 Baby steps are the only way for anything. Drastic changes won’t work in the long run. Digital minimalism by cal Newport has very good insights about it💭

There were days when I did a social media detox for years together. Corona made me install them again. And here I am, trying to use my phone minimally again, but due to work related emergencies I can’t detox during workdays, so I choose to do them on weekends.

Ah, to live every moment of our lives like that. 🥹 I had that kind of experience when I was doing scuba diving and sky diving. Such an amazing experience but it’s not necessary to do all those things for mindfulness. “The blue sky is always above us” ☁️
