Simplified Meaning:

When we are not busy or preoccupied, we can really focus on the important things we might have been ignoring. Imagine you have a messy room. If you are always watching TV or playing games, you won’t notice the mess piling up. But when you turn off the TV and stop playing games, you finally see what needs to be cleaned and organized. This idea can apply to your mind and your life as well. When you take a break from distractions, you'll notice feelings or problems you need to deal with. By addressing these, you can make your life better and feel more at peace.
