How do you know when it’s time to unplug? What do you do to make it happen?
There is so many phrases that can be vague in our linguistics. Unplug from what? Unplug from work, parenting, social media, dreams, thinking or life?
Life has become so repetitive, complicated and toxic you have to unplug from a multiuser power strip which is still plugged in.
There is no unplug from one situation and all is well. Someone could sit down with their favorite bag of chips, slowly sinking into an effortless state of mind, watching their favorite’s show and they bite their tongue or side of their mouth. No unplugging from that.
At one time, work would be left at the workplace. One could clock out (unplug) and cruise home listening to their favorite music, mind on autopilot heading to their safe space. Now, Post Covid, for some people the workplace is at home. It has all become one in the same.
If there are children in the house, there isn’t any unplugging from work, because with children the work continues. Even when one thinks they’re about to pull the cord, the minutiae continues until they eventually pass out from exhaustion.
Even in sleep we are plugged into the subconscious. The dream state of the mind enters into another consciousness or environment, experiencing vivid stories with a narrative structure, experiencing a life where human flight is possible and dying is a reawakening.
Most don’t ever unplug as the heart continues beating it’s nonstop rhythm for decades and for some others a millennium.
So the question for the person or AI generating the question, unplug from what?
