Interesting morning so far without social media, reading online, or randomly checking email. I feel this void that I want to fill with other stuff. For example, I started thinking about what going back to school would look like. I hit pause on that narrative and reminded myself why I am doing a digital declutter: to reconnect with what brings life into my life.
Today, I trimmed back some of those weeds I mentioned in last weeks post. Trimmer battery died before I could finish. Instead of getting frustrated that I couldn't finish the job, I remember that I have plenty of time tomorrow to finish the job.
During my email block, I also found myself a little frustrated with all the messages I receive daily. Because I am timing myself (no more than 45 minutes), the ads and non-personal messages felt a little bit like they were interfering with my limited time to process more important emails.
To close, a promising sign: my son brought me a science mold of the metamorphosis of a butterfly. He was given it by a local artist he had agreed to help move some equipment. My son thought I should have it.
Who will I be after this process? Or to lower expectations, will I at least have some greater sense of awareness of where I am in my current metamorphosis?
