Do you ever find yourself overwhelmed by too many projects and ideas, unable to finish what you start? In this episode of Dreaming with Lumi, we explore the familiar struggle of “shiny object syndrome,” where endless inspiration leads to unfinished work. Featuring Cai, a craftsman who begins countless brilliant projects but never brings them to completion, this story delves into the pressure we place on ourselves to constantly chase the next idea.
As Cai ventures into the misty woods, he meets a mysterious lantern maker whose relentless pursuit of new ideas mirrors his own struggle. Together, they uncover a valuable lesson about focus, completion, and the danger of spreading oneself too thin.
Paired with soothing soundscapes and calming brown noise (not to be confused with the brown note!), this episode will help you relax, release the tension of the day, and drift into peaceful sleep. Let Shiny Objects remind you to tend to the flames that matter most in your life.
