Nothing can replace the feeling of calmness that having a peaceful mind brings. Nowadays, we live in a world crowded with noises. Plus, the fact that being offline is now outdated seems to furthermore complicate matters. As a result, we are being bombarded with unwanted notifications. In this digital age, getting distracted has never been any easier.
However, there’s another kind of noise that is often underestimated but nonetheless remains very harmful and distracting. You guess it right. I’m talking of the noise coming from our immediate surroundings. This type of distraction/noise can sometimes be constant and repetitive and a lot more ennoying since it doesn’t require internet connection to get at us. And believe it or not, it is a lot more difficult for us to turn it off. This noise can be very sneaky. It sometimes takes the form of complaints, unsolicited advice, opinions directed at us... it is anything and everything that comes our way, oftentimes without our permission, that doesn’t add any value whatsoever to our existence on this earth. It is merely a distraction. It basically steals valuable time from us which we could’ve dedicated to great effect to much more important matters.
Reminder: Protect your mental peace at all cost.
