I write this page for any teenager that wants to set apart from any distractions from everywhere.

My vision about it and my experience

As I was growing up, I was surrounded by all kinds of addictions, to specify my main ones: music and social media. Music is still the hardest one for me to give up, even today. The idea of making yourself think music gives energy or makes you happy is a vicious trap. I love music, but when I listen to It all day, It has become an addiction, It gives me bad times. It's not ideal to put music before bed, or put it loud to hear all your neighbours. Music has started to control me, in every aspect of life. About Socials Media, when I have started It, a feeling of missing out had developed inside me. I was feeling worse than before, when I started to think that everybody was doing incredible stuff, and me not. Once I realized I was doing the wrong thing, comparing myself and feeling unmotivated. I refused, in the bottom of my heart, to believe in this way, which made me feel more confident, and stronger. Those emotions combined have easily won the battle between staying all day in socials and stop seeing content and take action.

The importance of self awarness

Being self aware of surroundings has changed my life. Being capable of thinking about everything, going a step back, and analyse posible mistakes have tremendously improved my qualities while I am facing a challange. When you can be able to see in your head why you get interrupted and why you didn't get the result you want, with more attempts, you start to observe patterns. These patterns make you unstoppable, like you have unlimited chances: when you get interrupted once again, you start increasing your voice, or beat him up, or tell him I have some valuable information to share before you leave, you won, you got his attention back.

The stolen weights discussion

I was feeling great, until something clicked. I had to talk with my colleague about a strange conversation I had with a friend, just in front of her. I started to talk, but in slow paced, and in some degree, nervous. So, my companion changed the conversation, because she found me boring and unconfident. I felt bad.... But after a few weeks, the subject came back to life, when she saw me at the police. In that time I was free of any mental barriers, and this time, I spoke to her in a faster pace, and more engaging, the general ideas has been shared as a one phraser, not too long or short. Just perfect. Those little things changed the way of the discussion in a new direction. I had the attention to talk more, but exactly when I tried to communicate deeper, I must get back in the police building to get my goods back.

Conclusion

This post won’t help unless you’re truly ready to change. But if you are, it might spark something. Right now I am writing without music - feeling proud of myself, and I already feel calm and not engaged all the time. I am slower in completing tasks, but I know from experience that It will change soon. See you guys on my next blog!
