8 THINGS TO ADD TO YOUR LIFESTYLE TO MAKE IT A MINDFUL LIFESTYLE

I adopted mindful lifestyle after leaving social media

-Snd

Hello! again! it honestly feels awesome to be back to blogging, this is how I began to express my thoughts and ideas from my life. I am not sure if anyone is reading this, however I still feel content and satisfied considering somewhere someone will connect with what I write. I would stay as raw and authentic as I can be about my thoughts and views on various matters.

So while I write this blog, let me begin by mentioning that this blog writing time is part of my newly designed mindful lifestyle. Do you sometimes wonder that you got time and you wish to use it at its best? Do you feel guilty of just surfing or scrolling phone and realise it is end of the day and you missed creating or doing things that make your soul happy? Do you get anxious to do things which are huge and difficult to seek contentment? well I could go on and on to frame questions that came to me when I was experiencing the time was running from my hand.

Here what happened to me, certainly the impact of the fast lifestyle, too much information and social media:

I was too anxious and fearful to sit stillI felt irritated if I did not have any content to post on instagramI ended up disconnecting with my family (like to talk about what I ate and did was waste of my time)I just kept being occupied consuming too much information by netflixing, intagramming, and facebooking.I was inconsistent in my workouts and experienced unhealthy eating habits (eat when I want to not when i was hungry)experienced failure based on intagram numbers or algorithm

I can list more however I guess with the mentioned 5-6 points you are with me how miserable I made myself for too much entitlement and presence on social media.

It took lot of guts to first go on a social media detox (click on the link at the end of this blog to know how I went on social media detox) I will give this credit to my sister as she caught the reason and realised I wasn’t being me.

Body: Healthy eating and workout (I love to walk, I say challenging yourself to compete 10k minimum a day would give you a lot of strength and sense of accomplishment.
