Left my phone at home this morning and just sat in the park for an hour. Felt weird at first - kept thinking about things I should be doing.
But after a while, something shifted. Started noticing things. Light through the trees. Birds. People living their lives. Not trying to capture it or post it. Just experiencing it.
I think I'm addicted to noise. Always have something going - music, podcasts, social media. When did I lose the ability to just sit with my own thoughts?
The clarity that comes from quiet is real. Problems I'd been overthinking suddenly seemed simpler. Not because I found solutions, but because my brain finally had space to sort itself out.
Need to do this more. Not as a productivity hack or optimization thing. Just as a way to stay sane in a world that never stops shouting at you.
