Less is More

 With not using social media and not actively scrolling and utilizing platforms such as YouTube primarily and occasion Instagram, I can think easier. I notice less brain clutter, more mental space and room for creativity, and originality.

Just the other day, I was thinking about Chinese and reviewing it again. It's been so long since I've been active with it and used it, but I still have my roots in it and recall what I've learned years ago. Just the stillness of this thought, this idea would not have come about if I was too distracted on social media. 

And I can also review with books, not necessarily audio or on YouTube though that can be helpful. I also notice that there are less distractions when I just want to listen to an audio on YouTube such as Bishop Robert Barron talks and really just hear what he's saying and enter into it when I want some spiritual content.

There are more ideas for books. I have around two stacks from the library alone and perhaps it's the season of Fall or just feeling ambitious and inspired with rereading good reads. 

I want to enter more into this silence, trying to be more intentional and create more in good thoughts, praying, writing, reading, etc..
