We live in an amazing time where anything you want to learn about is at the tip of your fingers… but what are we doing with that gift? There seems to a counteless number of streaming services, new shows, movies and new interesting hobbies appearing everyday. It is almost mindblowing the amount of entertainment that it is available to everyone. But all that avaiable media can be our biggest curse to a happy and fulfilled life.

Is technology overload a curse?

The technology itself is not a curse. But if we allow it to do whatever it is programmed to do(i.e. take up all of our free time)that is when it can be become a curse.

To allow situations that are 100% out of your control to run rampant with your immediate focus does nothing to help you live life the way you want to.

Energy goes where focus go

Take stock of all of the things you allow your focus to drift on. It could be politics, sports, shows, celebrities etc…

Then ask yourself…

If these things were to disappear in an instant, how would that change my life?

You might find out that not only you would gain much more time but you would also gain a more healthy mental state.

First question we should ask ourselves,

Is this something that enhances my life?

If the answer is no, we should then ask ourselves,

Or is this something that just takes space, time and energy that I won’t get back?

Only you can answer that. But if we are brutally honest with ourselves, we would inevitable find out we are living out our lives one notification at a time. I remind myself everyday that I don’t want to live like that.

Never take what makes you smile for granted
