a space to make your brain disconnect

I'm no expert and I don't know you but sometimes when I feel like that it's because I can't get all the other thoughts out of my head. A thing that can help with that is put yourself in a space where you let your brain relax, like a spa day where you have to put your phone away (if you're addicted to your phone) or just leaving the house with no itinerary if you've always got things to occupy your head in the home. I sadly have no solution on how to get free time to do these things, if your day is completely filled, other than..pick the least priority thing and swap it out for some me time? Once you make room for the things you love, at least with me its easier to feel like I have "found the time".

Sanity walks

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.

Time for nothing

im not saying watching tv, or scrolling your phone, or listening To music. I mean being present and noticing with all your senses Just what kind of environment you exist in and how you engage with it. let your mind wander and do a little daydreaming - I promise, it’s good for you

Choosing not to fill ur mind With content

i feel like a massive hypocrite writing this, but im gonna be honest.. the past year i've been constantly listening to/watching youtube videos and ig reels in order to fill the silence. just loads and loads of useless information and empty talks. last night i realized that doing so has been keeping me from thinking about stuff, listening to music and in general, being productive. i was filling my head with useless noise so i wouldn't think. it ended up being a comfortable bubble of bullshit that was hard to break out of. today i stopped the video, grabbed my notes of things i want to DO and played some music in the background. felt much better. i might relapse— i have many times, but im tired of being a vertically scrolling thumb (again).

Walking!

i used to ride my bicycle/take public transport all the time, but walking is really good actually! it slows down the wildness of modern life, shows you small things you would otherwise drive past. its all around a good idea if you have time to spare of course. great for calming down, thinking, good for relieving stress, good for meeting new people

ART!

going to the museums in my city, going to events, visiting art schools as a spectator to view their expositions it gives me this.. je ne sais quoi feeling. like, euphoria and inspiration and hope in a weird combined way. thinking about art, talking about art - and by that i mean anything from jewelry to graphic design, paintings, poetry, (short) film and sculptures. just fills me with purpose unlike anything else. im watching my sims be succesful artists and im like.. damn i wanna be that.
