We're All Consuming Too Much

Good morning! I hope you’re doing well! ❤️ 

It is so good to speak to you all again! I have shifted gears, and I am in a new location, doing new things, and already, I am learning so much! I am currently in the heart of downtown Detroit, and it is so cool! There is so much to do and see and so many people to connect with, both old and new.

We have also gained two new friends, and I am so excited you are here! Thank you for joining us! ❤️ 

However, I would like to point out how it has been sweltering outside, and although it might not seem like it, there has been so much humidity in the air, and it is… exhausting.

There has been a lot going on. I could say that about anything and everything, but there has been immense change not only within our nation but also in how we consume the media we see and interact with each day.

We consume a lot of news, politics, food and beverage, and whatever else. The average person consumes 7 hours of media in a day. Yeah, we go on our phones a lot, but it isn’t just our phones where we consume media; it’s everything. Now, I know you probably hear this a lot but take away from the noise and enjoy what’s around you—whether walking, chatting with friends, walking your dog/cat, or even just sitting outside. We consume so much media in such a short amount of time, and it is mindblowing. Limiting yourself on what you consume when you consume plays a huge part in how you see yourself and how you interact with people in and outside of your circle.

Please be sure to be kind to yourself when consuming media. I know what you’re thinking… Ari… However, consuming too much media can affect your perception of not just yourself but also the way you view the world.

Be kind to your mind! As well as those around you!

I look forward to chatting with you all here so soon! Have a fantastic start to your week. I’ll catch up with you all on Wednesday!

Cheers,

Ariana :^)
