This past week I have made a lot of YouTube video and social media content. This caused me to use socials more to keep up with comments etc.
The bad habit to pick the phone and open socials in the morning is an easy one to build and hard to kill. I did it a couple days and noticed how negatively impacted my morning, so today instead of picking the phone I decided to stay in the bed and visualize the day ahead instead, the commitment, obligations, even what to cook, the fun things I could do and challenges I can hide from or takle.
This is one small thing with a lot of domino -like effects, I did chose clarity with purpose instead of the dopamine hit of some notifications numbers, being able to notice such situations and act instead of react has been a long journey, thanks to stoicism and similar philosophies, which is first and foremost practical. For everyday life.
