You should unplug and not even from time to time. You should unplug every single day! People these days are always staring at their phones or walking with their headphones on. I mostly walk with headphones on as well but I’m not always listening to music. Sometimes I just put them on without listening to music and then I face my thoughts. Because you’re fucked if you’re not able to tell why you feel a certain way or think about something in a certain way. Constantly listening to music, staring at your phone… these are all subtle forms of escapism. Just look at what people do when they’re bored or face an awkward moment in a conversation. They’ll pick up the phone to get some dopamine, they want to feel good and keep on feeling good. Because that’s what life about these days isn’t it?
We all have to be happy 100% of the time on Insecuretagram. Being unhappy is something that people in the ’50s did! People who think like this have no clue what they’re talking about. Never heard of the stages of life? Anyways here’s the reason why you should unplug.
Unplug, reset and get happy out of bed.
People listen to music all the time to feel better. I mean it’s available 24/7 these days but when do you give your brain some rest? Only at night? That might turn out bad since I suppose that you’re not strict about your sleeping routine. Your brain is constantly forced to react to all these incentives. You listen to music, check Facebook, Instagram and whatever apps are popular these days, don’t forget to check your emails while you’re at it. Are you starting to get why you should unplug? Your head doesn’t have time to rest and that’s not all. You’re trying to escape negative feelings by constantly focusing on other things but guess what. The little thing adds up over time and all the little shit turns into one big pile of shit. You can’t escape it forever although you keep on trying.
So then you’ll face a giant issue. Your brain is tired because of all the incentives and that’s not a great way to face your problems. You might not be able to solve them at all.
Unplug, reset and get happy out of bed. The news.
Just forget about the news! You won’t be happy by constantly checking the news and it gives you a lot of useless information that fills up your brain. But I get why people watch the news, they want to feel better about themselves. They want to be able to say: “see my life isn’t that bad after all.” That’s avoiding the whole issue and you remain in your precious comfort zone while you’re at it.
You can use those 30 minutes a lot better. You could use them to tackle your problems, spend time with a loved one, workout… the options are endless but you shouldn’t be consuming so much media.
One more thing: you’re not unworldly because you don’t watch the news! So forget about the news and be happy.
Unplug, reset and get happy out of bed. Social media.
A lot of people are discontent with their lives so they follow famous people on social media just to envy them. What’s the point in doing so? You’ll only feel more miserable and I’m pretty sure that you’re already pretty miserable if you live a life like this. I mean I did this when I was stuck in a shit job, I’ve seen other people do it as well. It stopped as soon as I was out of that job. I didn’t feel the need to follow certain people or glance at their stories. I just didn’t care.
So get out of a job if you hate it. Or get out of that shitty situation that you’re in. People have been on the moon so I’m sure that you can solve an issue in your life. Just focus on yourself and no one else.
Unplug, reset and get happy out of bed.
I noticed that I’m way happier when I spend less time on my phone during the day. I just don’t like it as much as I thought I would and sometimes I even lose it (mostly once a day). I don’t text 24/7, it’s even a miracle if I get one text a week. Most people don’t get this but most people don’t get happy out of bed. So maybe it’s time to challenge your beliefs?
Maybe it’s time to unplug, reset and get happy out of bed.
