LPT: Next time you find yourself restless and unable to scratch an unexplainable itch… by /u/avocadoChef

You pick up your phone, the music you love bores you, there’s nothing entertaining on your Facebook feed, you’ve seen all your Instagram posts, you’ve read reddit. You repeat the cycle viciously and can’t seem to stay away from a screen.

What do you do to get rid of this restlessness?

Stop.

When you feel restless like this, your mind is overwhelmed. You need to let that itch fade away. Sit still for 5, 10 or 15 minutes. Watch the restlessness fade away.

The next time you find yourself restless and unable to scratch an unexplainable itch… the answer is to remove the itch, not scratch it. Because after all, we are most content when there is no itch to scratch.
