Distractions Compromise Identity

Distractions have the power to compromise our identity... but only if we let them. They compromise who we are, because we allow them to take over our mind. This week I talk about some distractions in my life, most notably social media. This is a big one for a lot of people. Rather than sit here and preach about removing social media and Facebook from your life entirely, I'd rather have you just focus on it during a set time each day. Don't let it grip your attention at random points throughout your day, but set aside time somewhere that it can be used, and stick to that schedule. Things like social media take away from your personal identity, because it's a "fake" way to interact with other people and what's going on in the world, rather than focusing on the YOU. I want you to find some other things that allow you to develop and discover who YOU are, like writing. Self expression through writing has been a recurring theme on Third Degree Mind, as it's something that's important to me and I've found great benefits through it in my own personal life, especially since my own diagnosis and acceptance of a personality disorder. Last but not least... I need some help developing the Third Degree Mind studio, where the magic happens. This Podcast is recorded in my home, in a messy storage room, one that I'm going to convert into more of a "studio" feel for producing this Podcast. Help me out with suggestions... It's not just my studio where I sit alone and record, it's the place where this Podcast is produced, with all of you in mind and trying to produce relevant content. Send me some suggestions on what to put on the walls, what to put on the desk, paintings, anything that has anything to do with any of the topics we have or could discuss on the program. Third Degree Mind is not just "my Podcast" of "my story" - it's going to be a group effort. Soooo let's make it happen! Watch the Facebook page in the coming days for photos of the existing "studio" which is in poor condition, and in need of a little TLC!
