我经历了严重的精神倦怠和悲伤，这源于2023年失去祖父母以及工作压力。这种状态让我身心俱疲，无法正常工作和生活。为了恢复身心健康，我进行了为期12天的注意力禁食，期间我关闭了所有社交媒体和娱乐平台，避免了与朋友的长时间谈话，并减少了对信息的好奇心。 这种断开连接让我有机会重新与自己和内在的平静连接。我开始更加专注于生活中的细节，例如食物的味道、洗澡的感受等等，这些简单的体验带给我前所未有的满足感和滋养。 此外，通过安静和冥想，我更好地与上帝和圣灵连接，这让我找到了内心的平静和方向。注意力禁食也帮助我区分了自己的声音和圣灵的声音，这让我在生活中更加清晰和坚定。 最终，我从低谷中走出来，感觉比以往任何时候都好。这并非因为金钱、成就或他人的认可，而是来自内心的平静、与自身的连接以及与上帝的连接。我相信，每个人都可以通过类似的方法找到属于自己的平静和滋养。
