Ive been trying to not look at my phone for a hard hour after I wake up and turn my alarm off. And just….have a morning?? Does wonders for my pea brain!
Maybe I should have put this in ask… because I say this. It’s 8am in chicago. I’m logged the fuck on 😭
It’s so difficult. I’ve been talking to my therapist about the way I’ve let socials rot my brain & behavior in some ways.
im Trying to slowly implement this & trying to not get down on myself for days like today.
The days where I don’t get online first thing in the morning this week have felt really great. More focused & starts the day out right
Any advice? How do y’all limit socials in the morning?
It’s actually terrifying at first, but even around the block it’s clarifying and helps me reset. I’ll literally walk out of my office and walk around the block phoneless and count pigeons to get back in my body and press restart.
upgrade from stashing it in your bag! No quick access, no thoughts connected to it. Give ur brain back to your body!
Just turned off my phone for 1.5 hours with a journal and crayons in a beautiful green space in the front of a museum.
I wrote two stories and drew some faces and watched people laugh and fight and saw a baby chase a bird and listened to my thoughts
It was great
on your own timeline, you’re surrounded by people that are all there for the same thing if you need something to small talk about, easier to get tickets sometimes too. really gives me a thrill lol small venue, stadium, anywhere!
going to try really hard to not say “I feel that [insert statement or thought or criticism]“.
Because whatever follows is not a feeling, and feelings should be described as feelings! it’s a different language set than statements or fleeting thought.
i Feel [emotion]
AND
I think that [statement/thought]
