Good morning. Spent the first 3 hours I was up 5am to 8am meditating and journaling and staying off my phone and any screens. I also read some. I’m trying to cut my screen time I spend too many hours on my phone or online and it’s not mindful and is a waste of time most of the time. Then the fire alarm in the building went off so we had to go outside and the fire department came. It was the laundry room, there was a lot of steam which triggered the alarm. I’m back inside now. Gonna take a shower soon and go practice violin later. Other than that a lot of reading and limiting my screen time as much as I can. I don’t like the amount of time I’ve spend on my phone/laptop over the past 15 years. It’s too much and I’d rather spend most of that time doing more fulfilling meaningful stuff like art, music (violin, ukulele, keyboard), socializing in person, going places, exercising, spending time with my cat, playing card/board games like tabletop rpg games such as dungeons and dragons type games, cooking, exercising, journaling, learning new stuff. Just slower living more mindful type of activities. I don’t want to look back in my life years from now and realize I spent 95% of it behind a screen. That’s unsettling to me. It’s almost become an addiction which I think is pretty common for many people nowadays. But I’m working on being more present in my life and not letting time slip by.
