How did day one of my seven-day media detox go?
I watched one YouTube clip about statues being torn down. A friend sent it to me.
I liked one picture, then caught myself and left my IG feed.
I posted a story but did not respond to any comments or read any threads or respond to any DMs.
What did I do instead?
I took a walk outside while listening to Civil Disobedience by Thoreau. I wrote two articles. I edited 2 YouTube videos. I processed my email. Chatted with some friends. Worked out. I slept. I felt better in every way.
Now for day 2.
