So this is week 2 ending without my having my cellphone, and I must confess, it’s been quite freeing. I really had no idea how many times I’d check that phone for emails….such a waste of time. While I will have to replace the phone eventually, for now I’m enjoying this little experiment not having one. And, my world still stands. I also feel calmer.
And the cool thing is, I have more time now to rehearse my affirmations, the words and poem I memorized….really am loving that. It feels empowering….
I will confess, I did ask my husband if I could borrow his phone today as I had to be out of state for the day – and he did. I wanted it just in case I need to place a call during the drive there and home…..thankfully I didn’t. And, I didn’t even use it to check anything….like I normally would to check the news, email, weather, traffic. So freeing. It’s nice but it’s also so strange, that this is where I have gotten…so addicted to it. And I didn’t get a smart phone until 2011!
I will say – it was so kind of my hubby to let me use his ‘baby’ 🙂
I had the same experience. Without iPhone for more than a week. I succeeded and I had time away from technology, but lot of time to think ! Be patient and think positive !
Hi Dominique, that is awesome!! And thanks for your encouragement!
I think that losing my phone would do me a lot of good. You may be starting a trend! 😉
Rockin’ job! Way to acknowledge hubby’s kindness and doubly way to go on unplugging. You are so right; we get addicted to these techie toys of ours. A friend of mine often says a retreat to a no-electronics zone in the woods would be of benefit to everyone; and hey, so long as I’m allowed my spiral notebook and pens, I’m right there with him! How about you?
Thanks so much for your encouragement, Ellen! So appreciate it. LOVE the no-techie zone in the woods! 🙂

What a great experiment. Like this whole MKMMA journey is and loving it!! Love your photos and I look forward to other perspectives you will be sharing.
Aww thanks Ursula, how sweet of you! I do hope to post more pics, as I feel inspired…. 🙂
