Lost in Overdrive

1️⃣ Big Idea #1:

Overstimulation scrambles our inner compass.

If we chase every beep. Our brains adapts by craving more outside input.

We don’t want that lol.

1️⃣ Little Idea #1:

If we’re always plugged in, we forget our own goals and north star. We start living everyone’s dream instead of our own.

We become zombies if we let ourselves be consumed by it.

1️⃣ Practical Tip #1:

Pick one activity per day.

Do it in silence. No podcast, no video, no feed. Note any self-insights. This habit strengthens internal direction.

2️⃣ Big Idea #2:

Social pressures fill our heads with mismatched expectations. We scroll, then compare.

We see illusions of perfect success.

2️⃣ Little Idea #2:

A constant feed of “highlights” creates an illusion actually.

We might wonder why we aren’t at that level. That external gauge warps our sense of purpose.

2️⃣ Practical Tip #2:

Limit “highlight-reel” browsing.

Scroll for only 15 minutes, then shift to journaling. Write one line about what you desire in real life.

This offsets the illusions on your screen.

3️⃣ Big Idea #3:

Our own voice gets drowned out when every second is filled with more input.

The mind needs quiet to figure out personal meaning.

3️⃣ Little Idea #3:

Purpose thrives in open space.

Without breaks, we lose touch with what sparks our enthusiasm.

3️⃣ Practical Tip #3:

Schedule at least 5 minutes of stillness each day.

Let your thoughts wander.

Research from a psychology lab showed that short moments of stillness improve clarity and decision-making.
