We’ve made constant stimulation feel normal.
Walking somewhere? Put on a podcast. In the bathroom? Scroll endlessly. Eating? Turn on Netflix. Every quiet moment, every pause, has to be filled with something.
We’re slowly becoming uncomfortable with our own thoughts. Our minds no longer have the space to simply breathe.No wonder we feel overwhelmed, distracted, and mentally exhausted. Sadly, this is what we’ve come to accept as normal.
Our minds never truly get a moment of rest.
Maybe we should let ourselves be bored sometimes.
***
Мы превратили постоянное потребление в норму.
Идём куда-то - слушаем подкаст. В уборной - бесконечно листаем ленту. За едой - смотрим Netflix. Каждую паузу, каждую минуту тишины мы спешим чем-нибудь заполнить.
Мы начинаем бояться оставаться наедине со своими мыслями. Нашему сознанию просто не осталось места, чтобы выдохнуть. В итоге мы чувствуем себя оглушёнными, рассеянными и ментально истощёнными. Именно к этому мы, к сожалению, пришли.
Наш мозг больше не знает, что такое пауза.
А ведь нам иногда просто необходимо немного поскучать.
