As I began my day I noticed a lot of changes to my personality. In the morning I usually feel very annoyed at the world and don't like talking to people until I have my coffee. Today I didn't need any coffee! After meditating I felt happy and alive. I was able to carry out a civilized conversation with my mom and I think she almost died of shock when I didn't yell at my brother for eating all of my favorite cereal! It was actually really strange because I didn't even feel mad about the cereal.
It is very interesting to think that something as simple as meditation could change my personality! Besides the fact that I have gotten nicer, I have also noticed that I am not as distracted as I used to be. Usually I am checking my phone constantly but today I don't feel the need to do so. This isn't anything brilliant (more like common sense) but, I have discovered that checking my phone constantly is not necessary. If someone texts me my phone will go off and I will know that I have a message. As to social media, has anything really important ever been tweeted or posted?
I think that tomorrow I will go on a digital detox. It will be really hard because I like to know what is going on at all times. However, it will be interesting to see how addicted I actually am to my technology. The thought of being without my phone for a whole day is actually REALLY scaring me. I think I need to meditate!
I love this post. I too considered a day of digital detox, and I was going to do it today. I have been working on psych most of the day on my computer, though. I will try it soon.
ReplyDeleteI, too, have been feeling more relaxed and upbeat since I began getting back to meditation. Enjoy the rest of your weekend!
