Are you living a life with more consumption than creation?
Our world today has so many new ways to be entertained, stay connected. But when these things become distractions from our highest self, they can lead to addictions that don’t really serve us.
Are you mostly just consuming what’s around? Meaning, just picking up that dopamine hit from anything that comes your way, mindlessly floating through life on what others are putting out? Or are you living a life full of intention, directed at a higher good, chasing real dopamine that is connecting with yourself and others & the act of doing what you say?
Some examples of consumption are:
❌Mindlessly eating
❌Scrolling social media
❌Binge watching shows
❌Retail therapy aka shopping
❌Engaging in gossip
❌Reacting to every stimulus that comes your way
❌Just hoarding info but never acting on it.
Examples of creation are:
✅Taking a walk, getting in a workout
✅Cooking a homemade meal
✅Creating content for your business
✅Helping someone in need
✅Decluttering your closet instead of buying new clothes all the time
✅Meditating
✅Doing something that lights you up
✅Putting into work something you have learned
When you’re just living in consumption mode, you’re not leading. You are literally sleepwalking and taking in that sparkly object comes your way.
When you’re living in creation mode you’re coming from a place of purpose and higher power. You’re putting out something into the world that means something to you and for others. You’re contributing to the greater good for you and for all.
It’s not to say that you can’t enjoy consuming from time to time. Like eating that amazing dessert, watching a movie you wanted to see or buying an item you saved for. It’s when we spend too much time taking things in on autopilot. These may look like fun activities but can become addictive & may not align with our bigger goals.
