My concentration has recently been really bad because there's always a text I need to reply to or I just have to check the likes on my latest Instargam photo. It's really annoying how caught up I get, so I found a few ways to disconnect myself. All you need is a hobby.
For me, making collages seems to be helping - all the cutting and gluing and searching bits and pieces to incorporate into the collage. In a way it really calms me, but it's also very exciting. All in all - it's really relaxing and it helps me to self reflect while doing something a bit different to my everyday routine.
But this is not a post about collages, it's a post about hobbies. Well, kind of.
My point is that when you feel a bit too involved in the virtual world, I suggest you find something that you can do with your time that doesn't include the Internet. Whether it be painting or writing or composing or solving math equations even - whatever helps you free your mind from all the crap, excuse the expression. Art is just my personal favourite distraction. Also, try reading books as there's a chance you relate to them in a comforting way which releases some tension.
I think it's really important to take some time for your thoughts and commit to introspection from time to time instead of getting stuck in a whirlwind of information we don't need. I'm not sure if this blog post had any relevance to anything, but I was experiencing a writer's block and remembered how I hadn't done a thoughtful post in a while. Hopefully, some of you know what I'm on about and can relate or take something from this blog post. Talk to you Thursday!
