First run of EoG St2 today. Felt smooth. Decided to run Ascension Chamber because I felt like I had the bandwidth, but about mid-way through I had to turn the volume way down due to an overwhelming urge to stop the track…that was a first.
Head feels like it’s swimming a little bit now, but the quality of my energy feels good.
Reintroduced social media (about 10-15 minutes total) after a few days of cutting it out completely, and I can already tell the difference in how easily it influences my internal state…and it’s not always great.
Scrolling the feed is like playing Russian roulette with all the suggested and sponsored posts that inundate the feed now…it only takes one to trigger a bad feeling.
But, I’m torn about cutting it out forever because sometimes I come across gems that make me think, or inspire me. Like a clip of Huberman talking about a study looking at the effectiveness of taking micro breaks of 10 seconds (to do nothing – like micro-meditations) at various points during a learning session. Apparently, those breaks allow the brain to process and replay the new information at great speeds and can increase the speed of learning.
That’s cool.
And it makes me want to look up the study for more info and test it out for myself.
Would I have been exposed to that information had I not scrolled through social media?
Maybe, but maybe not.
Limiting and being selective of all media consumption is definitely the way to go to protect my energy though, no question.
