I'm limiting the amount of messages I receive and I hope it can change my life
My plan to live a life not so addicted to my phone. I am setting up restrictions and boundaries so that I may live more presently in the moment and not be bombarded so much by outside noise.
I want to live a slower more fully in the moment life
As a content creator, I receive so many messages and comments on Threads, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, direct messages and story replies, three different emails, Line and Line group, and more. It's overwhelming.
It's impossible to read and reply to every one, and it keeps me in a constant state of distress.
So I am taking proactive measures to protect myself and my sanity, so that I may live a life detached from the internet, with small pockets or windows where I connect.
My goal is to be unplugged most of the time, to be living fully in the moment, in a healthy and happy way, and to focus on my base, exercise and meditation and sleep, deep work, contemplation and more.
Otherwise the tides of social media sweep you away, and leave you with no energy or time to work on yourself.
The whole point of this channel is to explore this world, to live an adventurous life and to solo level.
I can't do that if I am sucked in my phone 24/7.
So the solution is to limit all social media apps in the morning and evening (to start off with).
So from 5am-12pm cannot use any apps. From 8pm to 5am the next day, same thing, no apps.
The idea is to let my mind wake up slowly and to wind down before sleep, without the bombardment of outside stressors.
Recently my health has not been good.
I haven't been sleeping well. My mood is not the same. I have been taking a hit and it's not good.
So this is my pushback, to get back on track, to go from a low point and to pick myself back up and start anew.
I remember my pupose, I know what I want to do, how I want to live, and so I will continue again.
These low points always lead to a ressurgence of energy.
Anyways, I'm proud of myself for picking myself back up and trying again. Over and over again - I will get there one day.
Or in fact, I am already there. It's exactly this kind of behavior that I want to have, and I have it now. I am proud of this journey.
Have a lovely day everyone.
Warm Regards,
Jacob Pugmire
