Fixing my attention span - healing an exhausted brain

In this video I wanted to talk about my attention span, and how it was affected by my internet and phone usage during my college days, often using an otherwise wonderful tool in unhealthy ways, particularly social media. I love technology, but realized I needed to cultivate balance, not addictive habits. I noticed such a big change in my ability to be without stimulation that I decided certain lifestyle changes were in order, and this led me on an interesting journey of self discovery. I ended up realizing how much these habits were affecting my brain, how I felt mentally overwhelmed by scrolling so much even though I thought I was gravitating to it. Many revelations later, I’m a very different person. This experience may not be yours, but I wanted to share, because I think we can all benefit from reflecting on how we use our limited time, and how tools can aid our growth instead of hinder our progress. Title: Fixing my attention span - healing an exhausted brain

Hello everyone! I hope you enjoy this video - I love being here on RU-vid but I find I always need to make sure I cultivate balance and unplug a lot - this little short film is inspired by those practices ❤ I have my Etsy shop open (but it will be closing in a few weeks - give or take a bit - as I prepare for our new baby boy's arrival). Sending many warm wishes.

Your comments on overusing technology really spoke to me. I live by myself and sometimes my phone is my "company" whether listening to a podcast or listening to music. More and more I'm trying to turn it off and just be still with my brain.

But... Is it so bad though? I mean. If you're listening to useful podcasts, or entertaining videos like this one. How is that a bad thing? I think people are different, and whatever makes you feel good while not harming anyone, shouldn't feel wrong. Just be always aware of what you're doing with your time and with yourself and everything's gonna be great :)

Wow I came to the same conclusion not long ago. I never had attention span problems, and now at 41 years old I noticed that i was struggling with that. So I began forcing myself to do thing in more quiet, getting back into crafts that need my full focus and going to bed with my thoughts instead of a screen. It has definitely helped, but it’s a process.

The distraction social media provides serves a valuable purpose in soothing ourselves, but, as you point out, too much prevents us from experiencing whatever we are avoiding. For me, it was avoiding experiencing decades of unexpressed grief from many harms and losses. I have always been a "get it done" person, moving on from crises without passing through the grief part of the healing process. Now that I am doing that, in a measured way to prevent overwhelm, I am feeling more depression and anxiety, but I know this will lessen over time and I will again be feeling lighter.

This really resonates! I post-poned the smart phone until two years ago and still refuse to get internet on it. i only use my computer for internet and my phone as a phone, and the occasional text. As an artist, it's difficult though, because i like to post my paintings and poetry. But the more I'm on the computer, the less joyful and alive I am.

I left the very very busy world of being a bedside nurse in a busy ICU for 40 years when I retired and like so many others - moved to florida. This was a mistake! Like so many others we stayed there 14 years, but we found the lifestyle lacking something very important - family and our oldest & best friends. So we have recently fixed that by moving ourselves back to our roots. Something I had missed a lot while in Florida were kids - kids of all ages - we were rarely ever around any children. Even at our church everyone was a retiree. Very few younger people - no children. Since we've moved I've loved seeing the kids walking to & from school. Seeing babies and toddlers out walking with their parents during the day.(with so many working from home now it's nice to see Mom & Dad out walking with the kids.). Right now we are very busy trying to get our new apartment in living condition - boxes unpacked etc. but very soon I intend to be out walking about our neighborhood, enjoying the friendliness and warmth of our old familiar neighborhood.

It is so very true that our time in this world is so very short. When I was young it felt endless now that I'm in my 60's I can feel the finish line coming up fast. I have great curiosity about whats next , that will have to wait. Time moves so much faster since I became a parent all those years ago I'm doing my best just to ride the waves knowing that some day this too will end, and that's okay. My daughter will carry on in some way and I bless her.

I'm 66 and come from a family with many of us living into our 90's. I can't say I feel it "coming up fast", but I do think about it and how I want to live the remainder of my years. I never did that as a young woman. It's good to be at a place where I feel I know what's really important and what doesn't matter at all. and being able to choose how I want to spend the rest of my years.

I'm working to create a new life creative, peaceful, quiet. It was after discovering your channel in 2021 that I began to realize where I live, how I am working wasn't conducive to the real creative being that I am - who God created me to be. Living in falsity for so long I fell into autopilot. This is me waking up and taking bold steps to being... Me. I am so thankful to find your channel.

I went through something similar a few years ago. I noticed that constantly hearing the negativity in the news caused my empathic heart constant pain. But I was also uncomfortable with toxic positivity as I had long suppressed my emotions for the benefit of those around me. It took time, but I curated a balanced feed on both Facebook and RU-vid that included real experiences without the shock value of looking at everything through a negative lens. Channels like yours fulfill exactly what I'm looking for online, connection and peace while still having room for difficult experiences we can discuss ❤

Enjoy your time before baby comes. Breathe. This era for you is clearly a prelude to yet another life-changing era. Your beautiful baby feels your calm spirit, and loves your wish to listen to your soul. May his entry onto the planet be gentle. As a mother myself, I know that "gentle" isn't quite the right word to describe the physical part. But may "gentle" be the mantra for both your souls as he makes the trip in. Speaking of "gentle", I love the gentle green you chose for your stair walls. 💗

I live completely immersed in nature. Living on a wild and Scenic River in southern Oregon. Off grid. I have been noticing these last few weeks when I venture into town which is a good 45 minutes away, my head and the energy in my head becomes so discombobulated because of all that's going on right now with the shifting unconsciousness and the immense influx of light that is coming onto the planet right now. We need this time to be still and quiet for our bodies to integrate these new higher frequencies of light, so I am always grateful when I can get back to the land and be in the Stillness of nature. I know that I am truly blessed

Today must be the day for long overdue haircuts. I rather impulsively decided while at work today that immediately after work I would go straight to a walk-in salon and cut off a lot of damaged hair. She ended up taking 4.5” off so it’s now shoulder length (my hair is very fine and straight). It feels liberating. Cheers to letting go of the old and unhealthy. ♥️

How interesting that this is your your theme this week! It has been everywhere around me in the last 2 days - on the radio, in conversations with a couple of different friends, in books, and now in your video! I am SO glad you brought it up, because it is very apparent that we are losing ourselves in our devices and in social media, and everyone I speak to talks of how easy it is to lose 2 hours of their lives and then wonder where those 2 hours went. We are no longer able to pay attention for significant periods of time, and it has great impact on how we feel about ourselves and the world, and how we interact with each other. Personally, I have committed to being much more conscious about it, and I have very much enjoyed the past couple of weeks of focusing on doing the things I love and paying very little attention to social media other than where I am consciously choosing to spent my limited time. Your home is really looking welcoming for baby, and I wish you great joy in these last weeks as you prepare for his arrival!

I respect your decision to not share your family life online, but I wonder if you could touch on pregnancy, your preparations for birth and the time after. I had a child not too long ago and I was blown away by the magic of experiencing the wonderful natural processes. You will never get this time back and it would be fantastic to see how you, as the cottage fairy, experiences these processes and changes. Your take on pregnancy, birth and the changes as a young mom might help people in your audience and make the ones that have experienced it already relive the magic.

Hello Paola, I agree with what you're saying! I was watching a show on TV and they were interviewing Dr. Phil , and he was talking about the last several decades we have been in a multitask mode ! Probably started by companies trying to get productivity from their employees. It kind of resonates with me. He said that studies have shown it is better to tackle one thing at a time, and you still get the same amount finished. And it's better for our mental health! I get overwhelmed from multitasking and TMI sometimes even if it's something I love! Food for thought! Sending the love 🌿🌙💚

This video resonated with me so much. I've been feeling a lot of that mental exhaustion and I know I need to spend more time with silence or contemplation instead of turning to a screen automatically. Thank you for sharing your journey!

Watching a new upload of yours is like meditation: just sitting quietly and focusing my attention on the beautiful landscapes and artwork and lessons unfolding on the screen. Looking forward to the next one!

You are looking more radiant and beautiful in every video. It seems like motherhood will suit you perfectly. I have similar issues with technology, I live and make money in the technology field, yet I found myself disappearing in the rabbit hole of social media. First I had to cut back on Facebook due to the rampant politics that were so easy to get wrapped up in, now I mostly lurk and am afraid to post, as I feel bad that I didn't comment whenever a friend has a birthday, or has suffered a loss, or anything else more personal. Instagram was next, when I was out healing from surgery, one day I discovered that I had spent almost all day watching Instagram, and I hadn't read a book or done anything else restful and productive, including my followup exercises. I had signed up for Instagram to see people's photographs, as I like dabbling with photography, but lately all it is, is video shorts. I have learned to look at only the favorites that I have signed up to follow, while slowly staring to post a few more items, usually photos. I noticed that my wife is still in Instagram purgatory, I haven't been able to shake her loose from that and I find it frustrating. What really insidious, is that one can so easily fall back into the Instagram addiction.

You have made my shift to the quieter and simpler and slower paced life such a gentle and accepting experience thru your channel and humble being. It’s changing my life for the better at age Seventy. Your influence through your superb channel is enormous. Beauty is so deeply embedded in stillness, and nature gives us such infinite resources for being in its exquisite beauty. I stop so much more now when I see a tree or flower or a squirrel or a patch of bark on a sycamore tree. My attention to nature has been rebirthed! Thank you Paola. 🙏💜🕊

What a wonderful video, with lots of great advice. We all need to seek out our inner child and our quiet mind…as this world is sometimes way too busy. Your haircut looks fabulous- when the fairy prince arrives, you will find it so much easier to look after. Have a beautiful week and thank you for shipping my Etsy order - I’m so excited xx
