## 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
