So many of us spend a lot of our life consuming whether that’s what we are watching, eating, reading, or buying. Often, We fill our heads with entertainment and distraction and we fill our closets and fill our homes with things when what we really want is to feel happy feel loved and fulfilled and especially we want to feel joyous and alive.
Alright, Hard question incoming…..When’s the last time scrolling on instagram or fb or tiktok made you feel alive? When’s the last time buying a new pair of shoes made you feel joyous for longer than a day? I’m a shoe and purse girl so I understand it can make you feel temporary joy. But seriously. When is the last time you really thought about what YOU want out of life? What is it that brings you joy? I want you to Think about just for a second when was the last time you really felt pure joy? Really think about that. NOw, if you did that... My guess is no one pictured themself scrolling Facebook or Instagram or tik tok.
More than likely it was a moment on the lake riding on a boat feeling the fresh air on your skin. It was the moment with your family or friends enjoying a nice bottle of wine over dinner maybe on the patio. It was experiences. It was time spent with people you love. It was time spent doing something new or learning something new. It was most certainly not scrolling away on your phone.
Why then is it that we are so hooked to our phones? Its kind of sadly normal anymore to see a group out to dinner and at least one is spending time on their phone, if not all. My husband and I were in Bora Bora in a restaurant on the water and there was a young couple seemingly on their honeymoon and honestly they were on their phone the entire night. I felt kind of sad for them. The person right next to you, the live one that you have chosen to spend time with and they have chosen to spend time with you... they are more important than anything someone has to say on social media. Im saying this because we all do it. We have all been guilty of it.
