Sunday was probably my favorite day of the week. My biggest issue is my attachment to media,
electronics, the internet, my phone, and so forth. I have to admit I did not do the best that I
could have on Sunday. I forgot that it
was the Eco-Sabbath and I ended up turning on Netflix on my computer when I
woke up and watched a few episodes of Parks and Rec until I remembered I wasn’t
allowed to do so. I had no problem not
using my TV for the rest of the day or checking social media. It was actually kind of refreshing to not use
social media for the day, but when I checked it Monday morning, I had a bunch
of notifications and it made me realize that using it is how I keep in touch
with people that I don’t see often. I
definitely don’t think giving up social media is something I want to do
permanently, but I could easily cut back.
I did need to use the internet for school work and work for
my internship, so I was not so successful in that area. Even though I think I could have done better
on this day, it did make me aware to how much people in this generation rely on
technology, but I do not think it is something that will change too much. People like the ease and effectiveness of it
which I understand. We just need to
realize that there are times when unplugging and enjoying the moment needs to
happen as part of keeping our sanity as well as keeping in touch with our
surroundings, nature, and ourselves.
