I'm trying to do this more. It's a tough one, because with access to so much information, I feel like there are a lot of interesting things to see and learn which could impact my thinking and the stuff I do a great deal, but at the same time, all of that stuff and content seems to have crept into every spare moment of time, I am not sure how much I know how to genuinely think deeply about things for myself anymore. Most of my 'ideas' or view points are more just something I read from somewhere and I wonder about this is terms of how do these people come up with these thoughts and ideas? i'm just copying there view points but not having much original thoughts of my own, they are just people like me, everyone seems to look up to certain people or 'leaders' but they are just people. I feel like I need more time and space to have more thoughts of my own. Last year I did experiences with just sitting in silence for an hour a day, or doing a meditiation where I just allowed myself to think whatever thoughts I wanted, it felt really nice, but in the end I wasn't so sure I could spend an hour a day on it.
