Hello Everyone, it’s been a while since I have been active on blockchain. I have missed everyone, the great posts, the interesting communities, and every activity. Life has been fast-paced. Adulthood has been stressful, and finding my path has been tough. I got busy with a lot of things, and I had little or no time for myself. It’s been difficult for me to multitask as I am already juggling a lot.
I have been on the blockchain for days now, trying to write something, but it hasn’t been easy because I haven’t written in a while. Checking out one of my favorite communities, I decided to go through the Slowliving prompt and it resonates so well with how my life has been lately. Waking up most days and getting extremely busy telling myself I will make time for myself and with a twinkle of an eye it is night already. Sometimes I feel the year is going very fast and we just have to keep up with it.
My daily activities are always hectic and most times chaotic. I would say to myself that I would cut down on certain things but when I place them on a scale of preference I realize that they are all important and I just have to do them in order to have a better living. Do I break down? Yes I do, I have had nights where I just say to myself that I can’t do this anymore. Nights when I would even cry but still I have no choice but to continue.
The past few days, I have come to realize that I need to keep calm. I have tried to create a way where I get to find peace and relaxation despite my chaotic, busy, and rough life schedule. Adapting to this has not been easy but it has helped improve my life a bit. It has helped me with my creativity, and it has helped me with my frequent breakdowns as well.
One thing I do is have a Quiet Morning. These days I start my day early and have a calm and Quiet morning before I kick off with my daily activities. Before now, the first thing I do when I wake up is check my phone, check my emails, and start getting my head worked up. Not anymore, I start my morning with no phone, and no rushing. I kick it off by saying my prayers, meditating, and breathing. This has been helpful.
Regardless of having a Quiet morning, most times I get carried away with lots of things that I forget to take a break. I have made it a daily routine to take a break, sometimes a 10-15 minute break or a break that will involve me taking a walk around my environment. In a world where everyone is trying to make a living, I think sometimes we just need to calm down and breathe. This alone will help us take life slowly and easily. Breakdowns are terrible and could affect one’s mental health. Adapting these lifestyles has helped me a lot even though I still have a lot of things going on with me. These Slowliving traits have led me to find peace using these simple actions amidst my chaotic living.
