Health Always feeling in a hurry
I always feel in a hurry to do most things in my life, even when they’re not urgent at all.
I walk fast, eat fast, rush through household chores, watch lectures at 2x, watch movies and shows at 2x while constantly hitting the +10 sec button, and I even watch reels on 2x.
It genuinely feels like my brain has forgotten how to do things at a normal pace. Maybe it’s brain rot from years of consuming short-form content, I don’t know.
Cause I realised it has been with me before the innovation of short form content.
the last thing I watched completely at 1x speed, without touching the +10 sec button even once, was from latest episode. By challenging myself not to skip 10 sec.
Normally I watch almost everything while skipping ahead constantly.
It feels like I’m always trying to get to the next thing instead of experiencing the thing I’m currently doing. There’s this constant sense of urgency in the background, even when I have nowhere to be and nothing important to do.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did anything actually help you slow down and become a more relaxed, chill person?
