draft 0086 – a cup of tea and a moment.

So, today I was having a cup of tea at 4 pm, which is a daily ritual for me. I was using my phone as I had been using it all day, and at that particular moment, my brain became overwhelmed with too much information, it basically burned out. 

So, I decided to put my phone down and drink my tea without any distractions, and I felt such a beautiful sense of peace and relaxation from my brain. It has been a long time since I felt that, it was like a dopamine hit but without the negative side of it.

Usually I would feel that when I would be watching a film or a series or watching sports, I would feel exactly like I did when I put my phone down and just drank my tea, without needing to be entertained.

I think that in today’s world, we are constantly being entertained and it is killing us. Like a little bit of entertainment isn’t bad, maybe a episode of a series or a film or a sports game is fine but more than that is too much (I should definitely start taking my own advice) (are you listening writer, yes I am, hopefully).  

Like, before I would be okay with my brain being overloaded with information but now days I just can’t cope with it. So, now as soon as I stop using my phone, I feel a sense of peace and relaxation. By that I mean when I am overloading my brain with useless information, like constantly checking sports updates is so draining. And do you know what the funny thing is? I am not even going to listen to anything that I just wrote. No, stop writer you are going to listen. Yes, you are right I am going to do this, thank you for telling me. 

Anyway, the point is that it was just a beautiful moment I had with myself and being able to feel that even the simplest moments can bring you dopamine too.  

So, I’ll be back on Sunday afternoon at 1pm.

See you then, drafters.
