Tuesday- Day 2.5 of TV Turnoff Week
I had way less cheat moments today, in fact, I hardly attempted to cheat at all. I clicked on and started to watch Ariana Grande’s Sweetener Tour on Youtube—I watched approximately 30 seconds and saved it to watch later. I found that when I was tempted to cheat I actually was reading content I had previously created, as opposed to content someone else created. I read old diary entries I wrote years ago and went through old screenshots/videos in my phone. This is a grey area, but since I created it, I say it’s ok for me to view. I think the whole point is silencing the distractions so your inner voice can speak up, and I am definitely hearing my inner voice much more clearly.
Positive Outcomes:
- Started to clean out craft room closet and found a pouch full of old coins! I was pretty excited about this actually. I also got rid of a bunch of stuff and started the process of cleaning out my entire craft room, which is overly cluttered.
- I was contacted by people who I hadn’t spoken to in months! Conversation is a much more fulfilling way to fill time than needlessly scrolling, and I might have overlooked these texts in the past
- I resumed taking my Adobe InDesign course
- I found myself much busier/more engaged in my work again toda
Daily Conclusions:
Today was so much easier than yesterday. I did find myself feeling restless around 4:30/5pm, at which point I went outside for a walk and talked with one of my friends. I have noticed through journaling/meditation that time spent outside is usually my favorite part of the day. I also felt so much better cleaning out my craft room; it feels good to finally be treating my stuff with the respect it deserves, thus getting rid of what no longer serves me. This project is going to take a few days, but I am already seeing significant progress and I am excited for the process to continue.
