Have you ever found urself in a situation where you are so occupied and overwhelmed by things around you? You used to not knowing how to spend your excess time but now you find yourself lack of time to finish the things you plan to do. One of the reason could be us thinking too much, worrying too much. When we grow older, we keep more secrets, or perhaps we just simply think that people wont give a crap about what are we thinking, thus we choose to keep it to ourselves. You will be stronger if you reveal less of your feelings to others. After some times of storing problems in our head and heart, spending time to think about it has become a routine even if it doesnt make any difference or solve any problem that has been accumulated all the while.
This is how we cultivate the habit of wasting our time thinking about nonsense in the first place. Well at least this is how i started the habit. I could sometimes spend 3-4 hours thinking about shits and at the end of my meditation, i just realized that i spent few hours laying on bed, did nothing. Of course, once in a while, you can have time for self-reflection, but dont do it as if youre having a road trip without a specific destination. Know exactly what you want to find out about urself, dont end up using up few hours but could not come up with any conclusion about urself. Because that is not called a self-reflection session, that is simply time-wasting.
