but are you doing it right?

Meditation is becoming a really popular practice and they tell us left and right it’s something we should incorporate into our daily routine.
But let me tell you something, we’re all kinda meditating non-stop.🧠
You’re meditating on whatever you consume the most and on whatever thoughts you’re having most frequently.
The music you’re listening to while riding the bus, the content you’re consuming on the Internet, the conversations you’re having…
All of those things become your inner monologue.💭
We underestimate how much of a sponge our brains are. Unless you’re actively making an effort to surround yourself with positive, or at least not-negative content - it’s really easy to get sucked in.🌀
Be careful about what narratives you’re subscribed to, examine them - do they make you feel better or worse? Optimistic or pessimistic? Do they perpetuate the victim mindset or do they inspire you to take charge of your own life?
This might sound super basic, but… If you want to change something, you have to actually want to do it.🌱
Sometimes we feel more comfortable in our pain, in our hopelessness and negative thoughts just because we’re used to that.
To change your reality you have to switch the narrative that’s playing in your head.📜
And that is greatly influenced by your environment. Listening on repeat to the songs that perpetuate despair or endlessly scrolling through social media when the algorithm learned you like pointless, self-deprecating content… where does that get you?
Your social media is also your environment. A digital one, but still an environment. 🤳
Be mindful of what you let inside of your mind.💡
That’s all I’m asking of you today - just take a look into what you’re consuming.
What has the algorithm learned you like? What kind of music are you listening to and does it make you feel more or less like who you want to be? What do you talk about with your friends?
If you take an honest look into all of that, you might just find an answer to many of your problems.🤔
Sending you love and light until the next Thursday,
Your Glowing Bestie💖
