It has been a wonderful week where I learnt what are the effects of social media. The parting started with a headache but at the end of the week it was almost gone and can able to focus much better, be it life, work or anything else. The whole day I just opened my Instagram twice for 5 minutes and YouTube twice with altogether just viewing a video of 10 minutes which earlier used to be 2 to 3 hrs on a normal day.
Talked to a number of people in my contacts, called my home more frequently. Developed a few habits like using LinkedIn more wisely to connect to like minded people helping in personal and professional growth. It feels like some new life I am moving in. I guess people should more often think and reflect a bit critically in two weeks or a month time and ask yourself questions. Like is it right what I am doing? Is it helping me to achieve what I want to become? If the answer says no then there should be a full stop to it.
I love a quote from Dear Zindagi, It says, “Zindagi mein jab koi pattern banta ya koi aadat banti dikhai de na … toh uske baare mein achchi tarah se sochna chahiye … genius is about knowing when to stop“. Translation: “In life when you see a pattern or a habit forming … then you should think about that very carefully … genius is about knowing when to stop“.
I will try to do this self reflection part more often, thats what I learnt in these 7 days.
Adios
