Instagram Scrolling - Comparison or Inspiration?
On a recent five-day trip to Colorado, I found myself scrolling social media far more than I typically do. Sitting in airports, snowed in and sub-zero temperatures are what I’m blaming my constant scrolling on. Sure, a book would have been a better option, but I chose to scroll because it was an easy, mindless distraction. What happened over 5 days of excessive scrolling, was I began to slip backwards. Not all at once, but it was a gradual recognition of old behaviors emerging.
If they all walk away, will I be ok….
4 weeks into the year and I can see how easy it can be to succumb to the underpulling of noise. My very well censored and curated emails, TV selections and even social feeds contain a tinge of fear and apprehension vibrating through them. I tell my self I know better to shift my energy there, but sometimes its like the addict that needs a fix, I become sucked in, and I wobble around sliding down the rabbit hole. I saw this unfolding the other day, and instead I marched myself out into the yard, looked at the birds, squirrels, bare trees, sunshine and felt my body recenter, and begin to unwind my pinned shoulder blades. I truly did not believe that this “get out into nature shit” would work years ago, but trust me it does! It naturally grounds you and centers you.
