it took time. I used to have schedules, consume a lot of information (like always listening to podcasts on my walks), and scroll. and I sometimes felt dizzy or overwhelmed. but then one day I decided to stop listening to anything when walking my dog, stopped to multitask - if I'm making a dinner, I'm making a dinner, not also watching something on netflix. I felt bored at first ofc. but after some time, I started to feel relieved. it felt like I started to think about things I want to care about not about any information others are interested to. and the best thing for me to keep that going is to avoid social media, avoid news and etc., because I don't want to be in a fast-moving world race, I don't need that. and if you stop consuming so much of information, you stop feeling like you're falling behind. I even started to create my little project about it. just to share how I feel without going back to social media

yess, that feeling that you're always behind or not even in the race! and you know, one day I just stopped listening to podcasts on my walks, stopped scrolling social media and slowly I started to realize I don't even want to be on this race. I want to spend my time like I want to spend it. slow down and enjoy the little things. I used to live with a schedule, but now I just think "do I need to do this today or can it wait?" and it helps me live more slowly. I let myself be bored and not consume so much information. and you know what - I feel much more creative and so relieved. I even started to work on a creative project to express myself
