Back to the woods

I took a month off social media. It was fantastic. I felt myself calmer, more collected, open to slower moments, and ultimately willing to digest news in formats I’d never have done before. I found myself opening the Apple News app to read… articles!

This weekened I jumped back on social media. Within moments I felt off. I felt anxiety, frustration, attention pulled in may directions. With the exception of one message I was a little surprised to see I’d missed nothing critical.

So, I decided to jump off again. I’m taking another thirty days off most infinity wells. And I’m happy for it. Before making the decision I felt sadness, like I was choosing to just give myself up and go with the current. Once I realized I was going to take another month away I immediatelly knew it was the right decision. So, time to get back into the woods and start running again.
