Picture this: a teenager rocking his way through the ups and downs of the teenage years, while grappling with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder (OCD) and guess what? He is given the opportunity to drop all of his classes to do an independent project. Hold on tight because this isn't your average project completed by an average teenager – it's the kind that becomes a superhero cape for building a lifestyle of peace and contentment and against those pesky intrusive thoughts.
Clayton Johnson, started this project with the end goal of having no goal. WHAT?? Through his research, he scoured through writings and books written by the best philosophers of all time. After putting into practice the learnings of these great minds, he embraced a life makeover – digital detox, healthy habits, and a big dose of mindfulness. This concept visually packaged into a pyramid illustrates how a life’s contentment is best achieved by focussing less on highly stimulating activities such as concerts and social media and more on activities that allow you to rest your mind and focus on the beauty of the everyday.
It's not just a school project; it's a story of winning and inspiration for anyone figuring out their mind maze.
