In the past I have thought about sharing about certain things many times, then I thought: “I don’t know how this will end, let’s wait and I’ll make the video later”. The “later” point never came and I regret not having shared in the moment.

Sorry for the clipping sound for the first 10 minutes, that happens when you forget to hit record on your external audio recorder and the in-camera sound is clipping 🤦‍♂️ .

But anyway, today I am sharing about my journey to experiment on myself to regain control over the distractions, notifications, and pulls in my life. From grayscale mode, to disabled notifications, to the reasons why it’s even so hard. Let’s talk about this!

Being able to do more, break free of our own perceptions, the judgments we fear and think are out there. Rediscovering the new me. It’s a learning process.

From techniques (journaling, meditation, and healing sessions) over to discovering that not everybody thinks just like me and that there is more acceptance than one would think in this world.

Becoming more of who I am now instead of being stuck with who I once was.

Exploring the shiny objects in my life, how they come up, what they have done in the past, why it’s so intriguing, and how I try to deal with them.

They are so distracting, pulling my attention and everything that goes with it, letting me forget my priorities. But why? And how do I get back on track?
