I said to myself recently "blogging once every month is manageable and also something I'd enjoy". But the truth is, in April I completely forgot and lost track of time. This in itself isn't a bad thing, it shows I'm feeling good, but it poses some other problems.
A little reflection is always good. For me, this blog allows me to sit down, listen to some relaxing music and put simply, just ramble! In fact, I think reflecting and taking a few moments away is something that many of us could do with. Surely it makes sense to give your brain a conscious rest as you do with your body following periods of exercise?
The speed of society nowadays is electric. We can see news and communicate with others halfway around the world instantly with the invention and rapid development and entrenchment of social media into our society. I won't delve too deeply into it, as I have previously, it has benefits and also its drawbacks, but one thing it does do is increase the amount of information we take in, whereas in the same period of time, we would've received less before social media's revolutionary invention.
To my knowledge, there is no scientific proof of this but I'm going to run with it anyway. If we're taking in so much more information, we might need more time to sufficiently process it. Brushing information off has become common, but without pondering most of it, we ignore much of our emotion.
I've regularly, perhaps too much, talked of my struggle with emotions on this blog. A lot of it is centred around overthinking, which I suppose appears contradictory when I'm trying to encourage people to reflect on what's going on around them. But because life goes at such a breakneck speed, not reflecting means any potential problems you may have don't even surface.
Thankfully, my overthinking has subsided now, funnily enough the trigger for me writing this was the end of my final course of medication that ends a long, tiring year of my life. But even now that's over, I'm going to keep reflecting.
Reflect to yourself - and if it troubles you seek advice from those close to you. That's how to live a good life.
