This is such a timely essay with great insight. I love how you related it to Odysseus and his run-in with the sirens. I'm currently trying to cut down on scroll time as well for my mental well-being. I have a copy of Thoreau's Walden by me to turn to when I get the urge to open a social media app.
Andrew, your exploration of holding back, of consciously assessing our initial reactions before giving in, is incredibly timely and practical. Love how you use 'The Mast' as a deliberate restraint to pause and reflect. Thank you for sharing these insights and practical strategies for navigating life's sirens without succumbing to their call.
Meditation does not provide a blank slate mind, but allows you a chance to try to be present while thoughts creep in. I find that after I meditate, if I journal on the thoughts that creep into my consciousness during my meditation sessions I'll find interesting insights that chart courses for future action.
Needed this today. Thank you. Gonna download that Freedom App.
