Have you every heard the saying, “your mind is a sieve”? meaning a tendency to be forgetful. Do you sometimes get the feeling that there’s just too much information out there, whether you are actively searching for it, or its just there, via the many avenues available, such as TV, internet, newspapers ect.. And that the mind can feel like it’s just full and unable to stop thinking, even throughout the night?
You can actually choose your mind to be a sieve, and work for you, as appose to against you. Actively being mindful of the amount of time you spend on the internet, mobile phone ect… is the first step. Limiting your screen time, internet, organically reduces the amount of information available to you. Choosing what you are interested in, to watch or read or think, as appose to just wandering. Choosing things of interest to watch or read or search, and learning about a certain topic, as appose to learning about something that really does not serve as any purpose to you. Choosing to read, watch, research or learn, creates an information container of sorts, with a boundary. Filtering out things that are “just there” can allow for more space, and in turn the space can create a sense of slowing down, not in a physical sense, more on an energetic level. People grow when they learn new things, so I am not suggesting to stop what you enjoy, but rather be more mindful and selective, using your mind as a sieve of sorts.
