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.
