Hey guys, just wanted to share a bit about my journey dealing with overstimulation in life and taking strides toward reducing it.
Comfort vs Fulfillment.
These are the two competing forces inside of ourselves on most days for most people. The raging battle between what we want right now vs what we want most.
For a long time I saw business and the people around me through a lens of what do they bring to me immediately.
If a business was not immediately enticing with promises of making unheard of money and in just a single month I wanted no part of it.
The same went for people, if someone wasn’t boasting about how great they were and promising the moon and back I typically did not engage with them.
This led to a cycle of chasing trends and building shaky relationships with people that inevitably would fail as they had no foundation.
I even found this habit playing out on small scale with my daily routine!
It got so bad that I found myself on social media every single day chasing new people to follow, new posts, new pictures, new, new new. Don’t even let me get started on my eating habits.
Then one day I had a realization.
It was more of a question really that I posed to myself. The question was: To what end?
To what end would I eat junk as my primary source of food? To what end would I scroll through Instagram looking for stimulation? To what end would I tolerate mediocrity in my life?
That brought me to this final realization. If I wouldn’t do it every day of my life I probably shouldn’t even do it once.
That’s just my two cents though but ever since that realization I’ve had way more focus and clarity, way more drive and more importantly I now have a path towards true fulfillment.
Thanks for reading, let me know if you can relate and/or your own struggles!
