isolation for restoration

How connected are you? How many social media profiles do you that are active? How often to you check social media? How many SnapChat "streaks" do you maintain? How many people do you text with daily? How many different radio stations or podcasts do you listen to?

We are existing in a society that demands you to be plugged-in constantly. It's a beautiful concept, but it creates problems for us that we have become immune to realizing even exist. This fake need to connect, to portray a lifestyle, to share ideas we think people want to here, to combat opinions we do not always agree with, to defend the honor of our culture or religion, and on and on and on. The pressure is crushing.

There is a solution. It is detachment from this buzzing society. You must discover your own place of isolation in order for you to detach from the distractions, the stress, the constant connection. All those things will be there whenever you return. But the difference is you. When you return after taking time away from it all, the cliche concept of disconnecting, it isn't so you can show the world you have the power to separate yourself from all that is our connected society. No. It is about how you are self-caring during the time of disconnection.

Detachment is the solution to over-communication. It allows for perspective. Your perspective. Consequently, the perspective of others with be altered and they may see things differently in their own lives. We all have the potential to share a positive light in the world - don't diminish your own.
