Reflections on 7 Days of Disconnection

So, I’ve made it through 7 days without social media and television. It was a rocky week, at least at the beginning. I’m still figuring some things out, but a few things are for sure – I have read more, listened more, and felt a little more than I have in awhile, and I feel better for it. I didn’t push myself too much this week. I just sat with some things and allowed the week to become what it needed to be, while following through with some things that I said I would do. I prayed more, I read everyday and night, I increased my Bible reading, (I talked to myself a little… not in a weird way. You know you have to talk yourself through stuff every once in a while to keep things moving and stay focused), I journaled every evening, and took my vitamins every morning. I finished reading a book for pleasure and dove into a few books for personal development. I cleaned… I found old pictures that made me laugh (and a few that made me cry). I found some things that used to make me Emerald, some things that have inspired me to renew some old ideas and develop a lot of new ones. I think I’ve been reinspired this week…

And week 2 is on the horizon. I will push myself in this second week. I mean I do have some goals for this 90 days. I have reassessed this past week, and now it’s time to recommit. Recommit to my spirituality, my health, my growth and development… Week 2 is the start of the push. I will do a little more of what I did during week 1 and a lot more of what I need to do to reach my 90-day goals. Let’s go!
