The Rambling Psychotherapist

What do you see in this picture? How does it make you feel?

The world around us professes to be making our lives simpler, more streamlined, and easier through digital technologies and innovations. So why does it feel like things are getting harder?

Advances in technology are certainly making certain tasks/activities easier and faster to complete, but is that just freeing up more space for us to fill, and ultimately making our lives more complicated and harder to manage? The more we are able to connect, does that just set more expectations that we should and will?

What happens when we strip everything back and invite simplicity back into our lives?

I, for one, feel more grounded, less agitated, less tense, and like I can finally take a breath.

Sure, I get bored, but out of that boredom, some surprising things can arrive.

Just a theory I'm working with.
