Wait, let's go by parts

Definitely everything goes too fast and honestly to keep up with everything is impossible, between networks and people talking about something you saw on the networks, or work and so on the day ends and you didn't even finish blinking, it's crazy, but what I consider the worst part is that you are forced to go through life running.

Obviously we all need time to do as many things as possible, because "it's the right thing to do" and that often makes us develop terrible habits that directly attack our mental health, yes, I have also developed some, but some time ago I realized one that hurt me a lot.

I caught myself torturing myself trying to do more than one thing at a time, while brushing my teeth, while taking a bath and listening to the news, or anything else. Cooking while I'm filling the washing machine and picking out the clothes I'm going to wash, or not being able to watch a movie because while I'm doing it, I need to be getting ahead on some work or something else on the phone.

Isn't this the norm? No, I know that many of us have done it and that the lack of time seems to force us, but the truth is that this makes us live anxious, feeling that we are wasting time, when we are just enjoying an activity. Or it makes us feel frustrated for not having been able to complete all the tasks we should have, and the truth is that living like this is not living.

I decided to do something that I have been trying very hard and that is to do one thing at a time, I decided to do it because I noticed how my memory has been deteriorating and my anxiety increasing. Of course, if you do several things at the same time, is it possible to concentrate on something? Even when you are talking to other people and you are thinking about the 100 things you have to do, you are not really paying attention and without attention, there is no retention.

And with anxiety, doing just one thing affected me to an extreme point, I couldn't, I started to experience tachycardia and despair. Anyway, nothing positive comes out of living in a hurry and doing everything fast, so, if I am going to brush, let it be just that, focusing on how to do it, where and how well I did it, that prevents me from forgetting if I brushed my teeth or not, it applies to everything else.

I have realized that although this is still not a habit, and it is still hard for me to always do it, if I can concentrate a little more and I don't have so many problems to remember things. It is not easy, but it really gives you the desire to create this new habit and I know that by doing it I will have many benefits.

I very much relate to this constant feeling we need to multitask. Figuring out dinner while showering. Putting together an outfit during yoga. I do that too, but as you point out, it's so important to try and focus on where you are in the moment :) Keep taking them baby steps, it will get easier ;)

Yes, it's crazy how the mind has been programmed that way. Thank you so much for the encouragement, I will keep on sphinctering until it comes out naturally. Have an amazing day.
