Everything in life should be intentional. This way, you can live a conscious exciting happy life.
Not background, intentional! Stop filling in every second of your life with meaningless actions: listening to music, chewing, playing, smoking, masturbating, scrolling SM...
I listen to music when I'm creating and want to be in a specific creative mood. I chew when my body needs energy and nutrients. I scroll SM when I want to interact with my friends and followers. Every second can be intentional.
You are the creator of your life, so act like it!
