Today’s world is full of things that distract us. Our technology is helpful, but it can also make it hard for us to pay attention, learn new things, have our own thoughts, and connect with others in a meaningful way. It’s like our technology tries to bring us closer to the world, but it actually makes us feel more distant from it. It makes it difficult for us to notice what’s around us and understand who we are. The good news is, you can get closer to the world outside your mind by improving your hands-on skills, making your surroundings better, and talking to people instead of avoiding them. We shouldn’t spend all our time lost in our thoughts – it’s time to get back to the real world!
