The Challenge: A Week Later

Bonjour Mon ami,

Okay so i’m far from an expert at french speaking but hey, I like to try.

So it’s been a week with my Challenge. For anyone who doesn’t know what i’m talking about or who was not interested in reading my previous post, here’s what i did.

The past week I decided to spend less time using my phone, watching tv, and spending countless hours in front of my computer. Your probably thinking, this girl is crazy. Sure maybe I am , but have you realized you too could probably be obsessed with checking your phone, or spending countless hours in front of your computer and making sure you don’t miss that television show you’ve been wanting to catch, as well and missing out on other important things in life? . Ladies and gents, the first sign of this is DENIEL.

The past week I devoted myself to only 1 hour each day, of using those 3 items. Well my end result was this ; I used my computer once, my cellphone I used for only an hour each day, and television I used an hour each day (with the exception of Tuesday night, when i had to babysit and had nothing to do but watch TV, so i spent it watching the Dark Knight). I took up reading 2 books in my spare time, did alot of life thinking and came up with some story writing material of my own.

End result; I had a day spent with my uncle and his kids. Family is important no matter what. And you know what, I realized there’s so much i learned by spending time with them. I also joined the gym, and it’s been kicking my ass but its also time worth wasting. I accomplished chores, inside the house and outside =successful feeling. I realized I don’t have to watch tv or go on the Internet to learn things when I can just go outside and discover things, or learned new tasks by hand. I learned that spending time with someone in person is so much better then by using my phone to talk to them.

Seriously, there’s a whole other world out there. I recommend you turn off your phones, TV, and computers and go enjoy it.

Cheers!
