Titillating the Mind

 

Ok..I did my toolbox so now I can go outside and play in the blogs.

 

In reading some of the posts, there is a recurrent theme that mnay are caught up in various distractions (self included) instead of "living the life I want"

 

Maybe we are so overstimulated by living and life, that we seek diversions in computer games, shopping, booze, sex, gambling, and any number of distractions that we get pushed towards.  We titillate the brain to drop out of dealing with an ever increasing pace of life......and we do it because we think everybody else is doing it and we will be left behind!

 

..I think, a reason for this, it is a harder life we live today than even one or two generations ago. I mean....grandma and grandpa tended the field and then retired to the rocker on the front porch.i just learned how to use this PC and now I can get the internet on my phone...

i am overwhelmed !

information overload

I completely agree with you. So much comes at us so fast and we can't process all of it. I get really overwhelmed a lot of the time. I'm bipolar and have the tendency when "up" to think I can do everything and then when I come down I hate myself because I can't.

You are right

Quiet time can be just as rewarding as the hurry scurry of life.  There is no greater reward than taking time to just sit and enjoy nature.  I have a garden swing and love to swing in the shade looking into the gully garden full of hostas and ferns and every once in a while if I am very still, I see a little mole or garden toad....now, that's peaceful.
