How much of our thinking is our OWN?

The idea of taking control of one's technology use, be it social media or some streaming sites such as netflix, youtube, is not new. Whether we accept it or not, they vastly influence our thinking and emotions. When was the last time that you sat with just yourself free from inputs from other minds? For me honestly, I couldn't think of a recent time in the past years. I had my mobile to fill the void there. I wasn't even aware of the trend there and you might as well. We are being deprived of that time with our thoughts. This is making us lose an understanding of our self about who we are and what we value the most.

We are getting way too much inputs from a number of unnecessary sources and let those inputs dictate our judgement and thinking. There's a famous quote that goes like, 'If you don't prioritise your life, someone else will do it for you'.

HAVE SOME TIME ALONE REGULARLY to check in with yourself.

Reflect on

• What inspires you

• What you value most at the moment

• What are your short and long term goals

• How do you spend your time

• How does your habits/actions/decisions add value to your goals

Finally, do you have the courage to live a life that is true to yourself or the life others expect of you? The former or the latter, the choice is yours.
