Social media is frying out brains to rely on them to be satisfied with what's around you. But it's a hack of human nature that requires you to interact with your surroundings.

Making use of yourself and to gain that consistency it takes some time getting used to, but it's necessary to make real changes long-term. Being blinded or isolated makes you feel like everything is going ok, and you don't need much. That's a mediocre lifestyle. To achieve your best self, you need to do something that challenges your interests. Make plans for holidays, go to new places, write a message to someone you haven't spoken with for a while. But make a dedicated effort somewhere. Don't make a point of succeeding in everything either - your work may interrupt your plans, or someone ghosts you. Keep in mind that you want to experience more than "nothing" that social media offers.

Work on your schedule to read, exercise, make plans or take on your own project that you think can ground you to the reality rather than mental illnesses of the internet.

If you're not that self aware, just check your phone usage and reflect on what you've gained. If you're not communicating with others and scrolling entertainment, it won't benefit you in any way. If you think it's a lifestyle that many live, you would be right and wrong. 

"Introverts" often don't like to get involved in physical world and rather peak at their interests on the internet. "Extroverts" think less and have nothing to do on the internet even for entertainment, social issues sometimes catch their attention.

What makes you feel alive is expanding your frontiers in real life. So put aside some time to read a book, take a walk, work out exercises that you can do well to keep you active.

What else am I missing? What can bring joy to everyday people in a surprising way while growing personally?]]>

Our well being depends on how you treat yourself, to be physically capable and mentally alert and aware of yourself and your goals.

Establishing basic self-care is the foundation to being your best self to take on your goals.

It's as if you're 2 people, the worker and the manager in your life. When you work on yourself, you will also realise that it makes you happy to see yourself making effort in good direction.

Although it requires discipline and saying "no" to your bad habits, the payoff is immeasurable when you realise how much you can do without waiting for motivation.

When you're growing up, for some reason we're not taught how to grow up, it's expected either to be responsibility of our parents, and parents expect it to be done by educational facilities. Neither end up making any effort.

At some point, you begin to realise that there's a way to get few things on track, but you will have most of the cogs in your machine missing. You will end up discovering yourself into your 30s and realising how much of everyday life is a scam that doesn't benefit you and you can't expect it to just work in your favour.]]>
