Compulsive Nature

I have a power of noticing what is happening around me. It has happened with me too, which is how I first noticed it. I then wanted to see was it just me, or if it was majority of the people I'm surrounded by.

You wake up in the morning. You check your phone in a hurry to update yourself on all that has happened in the world while you were asleep. You keep the phone down in disappointment and twist and turn in bed and fall asleep again. Now you are late for work, so you rush. You rush to brush your teeth, to make yourself a quick breakfast, to shower, get ready and frantically run out the door to get to work on time.

Now you're at work. You've made it in time, just a few minutes late after being antsy sitting in your car through the morning commuter traffic. You pour yourself a cup of coffee and begin your day. Your day is packed with multitasking which basically means that you're thinking of a lot of things at once, and none of them clearly.

Before you know it it's time to go home and you end up reaching home physically tired but your mind is still jogging. It is still thinking about all the stuff that happened today and all the work that is still to be done at home.

Exhausted, you pull yourself through and get it all done and get to bed but you can't sleep. You're looking at your phone for funny cat videos to lighten up your day and hopefully put you to sleep. You finally fall asleep until the alarm clock goes off and the whole thing starts again.

If someone told you, you had 36,500 days to live like this. What would you tell them?

Our lives are bound by compulsiveness. Take a moment to think about what you're doing before you do it. You'll start to make decisions which wouldn't have made sense when you were stuck in compulsiveness.
