Emotions will hang around. Our ego can bolster negative worries or anxieties for longer than we’d like. Opinions or statements from friends, family or colleagues can haunt us badly. Worrying about the coming year can magnify existing concerns. Not all our thoughts and emotions can tally up as neatly as we like to arrange them in a book or journal. This is where ceremonies and ritualised methods of purging thoughts can play a quick and effective role in calming our thoughts and finding more focus.

Like an exhausted foreign legion, our brains are constantly sweeping our lives for new behaviours to recruit into a habit. Our minds crave the calmness that the autopilot that a pattern promises.

Your phone is a needy and pushy egotist. It's rude. It has no respect for anything except itself (update me now!) and is a tyrant when it comes to attention, energy and dominating any conversation.
