If you scroll through Instagram you will come across sponsored posts that relate to whatever you have been browsing.
You get a chance to just scroll by it or acknowledge it and click on the ad or you can click on the options for the post to tell instagram to hide the ad because its irrelevant or you have seen it too many times.
I thought of how our minds work and how we are in the middle of our day and a random thought comes through that takes our attention away from what we were focused on doing.
Like Instagram we should not just move past the thought as if we just scrolled passed the ad. We can choose to acknowledge the thought and eliminate it by telling our mind… “this thought is irrelevant” or “Ive seen this thought too much.”
If only curating was this easy… it’s a start though. Food for thought.
