Time and Space Are Limited
I deleted all my tweets on the first of the month.
Shortly after, I turned on Freedom and started a social media / new input fast.
As this month continued, and I didn’t spend as much time on social, I realized a few things:
- Our days, while seemingly “packed” are often that way because we are always reacting
- Changing our habits come with a cost.
- Removing one thing tends to make something else take its place.
I want to focus on the last learning with this post because it is something I didn’t foresee.
When I removed my social and laid that stake in the ground, almost every one of my habits felt some consequence.
- My gym habit increased – now I go four times a week
- My junk food intake increased because social media is an anxiety panacea
- YouTube. I’ve watched a lot more YouTube lately. Don’t know where to place this.
It was a reminder that we are all walking around the world functioning as a system. We don’t know the consequences of changing.
Next time, when cutting something major out, it makes sense to have new habits ready to go. That energy has to go somewhere. I better be intentional dealing with it.
