The havoc to have more is increasing day by day and I was thinking about it for a long time, why people have shifted towards a materialistic mindset with the most evolutionary techs and discoveries of this era.
And to my surprise the little culprit for this shift was in my hands all the time, yes, its the phone, not really the phone but the social media; it is the main reason which is making us tensed to have the latest stuff.
To my understanding, we all are refreshing our feeds ten times a day and for some people its more than twenty times a day. And according to statistics, specifically millennial check their phones 150 times a day, which is absolutely bizarre.
The more you check your phone, the more anxiety rises.
You are constantly on this hunt to see what's happening all over the world every minute and this is giving you that materialistic mindset to have the latest stuff even though owning any of the material won't make you any wiser.
Even knowing everything that's happening around the world is not your interest or not your context of what you came searching for.
Social media manipulates your consumption of time in such a way that you give the attention it wants as per its demands without even realizing it.
Try to uninstall social apps from your phone and watch yourself being mindful of your time as well as your level and quality of energy you reflect towards others.
