Our brains were not meant to computer gaze for this many hours a day. We were never wired to know all of the things happening across the globe. Feeling overwhelmed? Go outside. Touch grass. Water. Concrete. Dirt. Something.
Maybe spice it up with a little activity. Take pictures of cool signs you see. Bend down and look at an ant. Find a John Wilson-ass quirk in the dynamic world around you. Your brain and body will like it.

I am much more satisfied w myself when I do this every day. Sometimes when my awareness has been compressed into a pop tart sized lcd screen, going outside and looking at the tree canopies can feel like an acid trip. When I'm not making a practice out of it I feel like I've lost the way.
poem by Nanao Sakaki:
If you have time to chat,
Read books.
If you have time to read books,
Walk into mountain, desert, and ocean.
If you have time to walk,
Sing a song and dance.
If you have time to dance,
Sit quietly, you lucky, happy idiot.

go for a walk. let your mind wander. think fluidly and let your mind go where it takes you. take out that phone if you have questions you want to google, but try to solve problems on your own as much as you can. ask yourself what sparks your curiosity, your joy, what feels meaningful. try to find a book or podcast or something about that and use that noggin'

I’ve been embracing the fact that there‘s a difference between resting our bodies and resting our brains. I live in a city, so I’m always constantly around sounds and movements. I found that being in nature, around trees, clean air, in solitude allows me to really rest my brain fr fr. If able to, go on a trip somewhere far or even visit the nearest greeneries to ✨recharge✨

I got a Hario Cold Brew Bottle and it has changed my mornings for the better. If you're team iced coffee, you can have a nightly ritual of measuring out and brewing your own coffee. Plus it's fun to try different grounds. Rn I have Cafe Du Monde Coffee and Chicory and it rules.
