I have probably been scrolling social media way too much, but I find myself attracted to an ad, or two or three, that has been popping up. (Yes, I know they’re designed to do that – I’m not oblivious or immune to the psychology) Well, the ad basically says ‘what if you disconnected and worked on yourself for 90 days’ (some of them say 6 months or a year). Of course the ad wants consumers to subscribe to their app for tracking habits and to purchase a plan for the 90 days (6 months, 1 year). I don’t want the app (I have one (or two or three) already). But the idea is so attractive at this point in my life, my journey, my current chapter. What if I disconnect for the next 90 days and really intensely work on me?
I mean there are things that I couldn’t completely let go of – work, spiritual routine (this would have to intensify during the 90 days), family. But social media, television, outings with friends, spending money (frivolously)…
I am approaching chapter 44 in 2 days, and this might be just the time to do it. A February 27th start (I should get through one last “connected” weekend after all) would put me at Sunday, May 27th in exactly 90 days. Just in time for the end of the school year, and the start of Summer 🙂 I think I can do this. I think I want to do this.
What would a 90-day disconnect really involve?
Yup! A disconnect is in my future also. Warmer weather means more outdoor time for me and I need that! Less tome on IG and more time outdoors. I can handle that. Maybe I will see you out there!
