RE: Mindfulness can help us in slowing down and avoid crashing
I feel like it gets easier and easier to find ourselves busy or have many thoughts on our minds. Mindfulness is an excellent way to unwind all the tension we build up in life. I personally find it easier to be mindful by dropping my focus entirely and giving everything equal access to my observation. Something I'm still working on
Exactly right, I think our state will be to be more and more on a state of hurry and and constant busyness, the Internet simply offers us more content than we can consume. So either we get use to it, or we need to apply other strategies.
I think we can adapt and find the peace in the chaos. It seems our generation, with all the different technologies, is actually quite good at changing our state of perception and range of awareness. Like when we are say playing a computer game, we can become quite absorbed in the game, it becomes our focus, then when we go outside for a hike we "zoom out" to a more broadened focus, even bordering on limitless. I'm very interested in awareness and that has been fascinating me recently. I don't think many people really notice how much their perception changes when changing activities, but it's well worth looking into.
