Excellent suggestions. I see people being addicted to technology. And, as with other addictions, when you ask yourself what your emotional/physical need is prior to the behavior, then you cn choose a healthier way to meet yhour need.

Thanks so much, Larry! Yes, we just need to check in with ourselves.

Achieve awareness with intention

Reflections is my practice as is learning something new by whatever media, podcasts, books, or electronics

The outside, and more focused to grab my attention are the wild woods

Have you spent time reflecting in the woods?

Yes, I've become a woodsman over the last 10 years, pushing to learn as much as I can. In this process, it gives me the opportunity to do my reflections as I immerse myself in my missions in the woods whether I'm learning to hunt turkeys, deer or mushrooms and the like. It's become my religion

Beautiful, Anna! I'm so glad that journaling and tracking are aligning with you. There seems to be a "brightness" in your words, and may that continue! Although your absence around here has been felt.
