Anxiety and Depression are becoming increasingly common in the modern day, with the development of social media we have seen more people begin to live their lives behind the LED screen, in comparison to face to face contact. It has provided more of a chance for introverted individuals to allow themselves to be confident, Even though it can have its positive effects, it also has its downward spirals too.
We are constantly being over-stimulated by media outlets, TV, Film and Adverts are very common. The population is constantly obsessing over their latest Instagram picture, who's got with who on Facebook, this should only be a tiny aspect of our lives, but we treat our online life as our reality. It is time to turn off our phones, it is time to begin talking to people face to face.
We may miss the chance of a lifetime because we were too busy with our face in our phones, looking at the same post over and over again. This will not provide us with any long-lasting fulfillment, only a temporary boost for our ego. Through not being able to accept the present moment and running from it constantly, we see the development of anxiety and depression amongst others. Even though these are real illnesses we need to really consider where our time is being spent, and if we are spending too much time living in a reality that doesn't exist.
Put your phone down, turn your TV off and go out into the world full of presence. You will see what you've been missing out on.
