Keep pressing this point Lizzy. It is astounding how much we fill our waking hours with the equivalent of day-time TV garbage, how much we miss because of all of our distractions. It is a bad habit. I just had this discussion with one of my students. Her reaction was so typical. "I'm afraid my life will be boring." Two things: 1) living one's life in reaction to fear, and 2) boring. I was amazed to hear this. It was a good lesson for this humble teacher to learn, and to press against it in my classes.
When therapy clients say to me 'I don't have time' the first thing I ask them is how much time do you spend on Facebook/Instagram/TikTok? 😃
