Four Of Cups

In times of over-consumption and the world flowing with all sorts of choices that help us to fulfill our needs we might, at some point feel disengaged, apathetic or switched off. We may feel bored or dissatisfied with our life thinking towards the possibility of no surprise -as if things re-align to bring same situation - on and on again.
In fact this feeling has an explanation - it's an invitation to make a conscious shift towards the inner world where space given to yourself can only bring more knowledge and thoughtful reflection on what is important.
This invitation spreads over our habitual way of living the known stream. To break out of the feeling of withdrawal we must establish a new way of thinking by gently breaking the habits of continous mind's chatter. There is no need for that - it acts as a veil on our awareness therefore it has to be taken away.
We often fall into the trap of disengaging ffrom our emotions by being overflown with too many stimuli - in order to find the way towards them it's good to disconnect from external sources of distraction e.g. social media or social flow.
It's also a good point to understand that we might feel this way because we have been hurt in the past and being overburdened by this - we don't feel the vital force, shut down in our own circles of reactive mood swings.
Introspection and healthy withdrawal now can take its course. Step back, observe yourself in answering habitually to what normally would disturb you. From the bird's view of an introvert things can actually become quite enjoyable in its own way.
Being uninspired and disillusioned will pass...
