Disconnect.

What a weird feeling. Spending 45 minutes “disconnected” from technology. Honestly, it is sad that in this day and age, 45 minutes away from computers, cell phones, iPads, what have you, seems like the longest. time. ever. At the beginning of the activity, I said something along the lines of “This might be the longest time I’ve ever been away from my phone.”By the end of it, I couldn’t believe that 45 minutes had already passed.

Spending time outside, in the middle of all this chaos, was probably one of the most relaxing things I’ve done in a long time. It was an interesting de-stresser that I truly enjoyed and appreciated. Downfall - I just don’t have time to do that in my day-to-day life. If I’m not working at Black Rock, or sitting in class, or planning the social media for Hapa Yoga, or nannying, or creating PowerPoints for class (yeah, THAT busy!)… then I’m probably sleeping. And at the end of all of those things, sleep is a very cherished, very minimal activity. Last night, for example, I was able to sleep for about four hours. Healthy right?

My point is, it is hard to “disconnect” from technology for extended periods of time because so much of what we do on a day to day basis requires the internet. Take this blogging “debrief” for example. Couldn’t do it if it weren’t for the Internet.

In College…

I learned more about myself than I ever thought possible. And that the person you were in high school was a very limited version. In college, you get to be the person you’ve always dreamed of becoming.
