We live in a world full of stimuli, in which we can face stimulus after stimulus relentlessly, we can finish watching an episode of our favorite series and then start watching the next episode without interruption, we live in a time of infinite opportunities, with channels of communication 24 hours.
As much as the benefits of mental rest are necessary, it is very difficult to abandon the stimuli that give us pleasure, day by day we saturate our mental system, without realizing that rest is in our hands, but sometimes we do not exercise it. It’s because we’re not aware that the world can give us a break if you ask.
- Interestingly.
- A certain confectionery company has created a “Wi-Fi free zone”.
- In these spaces.
- There are devices that block any signal to access the Internet.
- As well as having benches to sit on.
- The proposal of these “free Wi-Fi Zones”? It’s simple and clear: take the time to read a good book or chat with someone without interruptions from modern technology.
Are we getting to the point where we need spaces that free us from constant notifications and information bombings?
There are several solutions to clear the mind, without being obliged to do so, one of these solutions is meditation, which consists of performing breathing exercises, without noise or distractions, to achieve introspection, to think of positive and relaxing messages and, finally, not to think of anything that can generate stress on a daily basis.
Another option is to spend 15 minutes (or more, if desired). You can take this time to take a relaxing bath, take a nap or listen to the music you love. Close your eyes and imagine this scene? You’re relaxed now, aren’t you?Why is it so hard to spend time with yourself and it’s so easy to surf the Internet?Think about it for a moment.
Another option to disconnect from the world is to perform certain physical activities, to force the mind not to think about anything, it can be a perfectly structured exercise in the company of someone, a solitary walk in the park, any activity that does not involve any routine.
In addition, there are other techniques, such as looking at an object (a lit candle, for example) and focusing only on the object, trying not to think about anything else. Gradually, the mind will begin to empty, allowing a few minutes of inner silence, without distractions or interruptions.
Finally, remember that although today’s society strives to produce stimuli, the power to give up these stimuli is in your hands and the opportunity to find your own pleasure too, this means that you are responsible for the situation. , going out to breathe and then coming back are pleasures that you reject without even realizing it. We’re afraid of losing things that actually happen slowly. We must not be afraid of losing situations, we must be afraid of not having time. for ourselves and not enjoy life. Let in for a moment; maybe now you’ll get something much better.
