SumitI’ve seen this so many times in my life. We hear people refer to as the “self-care” crowd, and they often refer to themselves as someone who needs to do more — that they need to work on themselves. But when you hear people saying that, you will almost inevitably think, “Oh, no, that isn’t true at all. They are just overworking themselves.
As human beings and as human beings in general, we tend to overwork ourselves. We constantly feel like there’s so much we need to get done that we don’t get done because of our own laziness or lack of focus. We don’t get out the door as soon as we feel like we need to because we’re too busy working on that one project that will take the entire day. We don’t have the time to make a salad, for example.
In a perfect world, we would never think of ourselves as lazy and we would always be over-worked, but we really do need to take time for ourselves. We need to have time to think, relax, and unwind, and that’s not always possible. So we have to have a healthy balance between the two.
I don’t mean to be all hard line like I’m some kind of perfectionist, but when I look at myself I see that there are times that I just need to chill out a little. Like maybe if I’m at my desk I’m not that distracted. Or I need a break from work. I need to just let my mind go back to a place where I can be in the moment.
So when I look back on it I see that this is the moment I needed to come to terms with my life. I was a teenager who had been looking at a book/bookstore that day and saw a lot of stuff. Like, you have some of the best designers out there, and you do get a lot of the attention.I think you’re missing the point. You need to have your head in the clouds and your mind in the air.
I think that’s great. I’m not saying you need to live in the clouds, and I’m not saying you need to have your mind in the air. But I also think that having your mind and your mind in the air is great. It is good for you to have a moment where you have nothing on your mind and don’t have any thoughts about anything. In order to be in that moment you need to get out of your head.
I would agree with that. If you think you have no thoughts to think about, you need to get out of your head and let your mind get to work. If you think you have nothing to think about, you need to get out of your brain and let your thoughts run free. The problem is that you can do this and you can be more productive and get a lot more done with less time. The reality is that you will be productive in a less productive way.
This is what I mean when I say that you need to get out of your head. If you don’t get out of your head, you will continue to fill it with thoughts, thoughts that will keep you from getting the work done you need to get done. If you get out of your head, I guarantee you will be more productive.
It is not about the words you give to yourself, it is about the processes you have to get out of your head. It is about the fact that you are not a human being, and that you are not human, and that you will have no control over your thoughts at all.
My point is about the human condition of being at the point in life where you are constantly in a state of constant hyper-focus. You can’t actually remember how you did something in the last 3 or 4 minutes, and it is easy to lose track of what you are doing and it is easy to become distracted. All it takes is a little focus to remind yourself of how you are doing something, and to get back in the flow.
