Week 14: Unplugging

I decided (as I looked at my grade) to do the 24-hour media fast. I think this will be a great opportunity to focus on finishing things for finals. In the article we had to read for it, it said "Attention is the holy grail." I think that is so important to note. When I am with people am I giving them my attention or am I distracted by what could be happening on my phone? I want to focus on those around me, especially the limited time that I get to spend with my family when I go home. I want to do this to see the difference and hopefully be able to apply how I felt and what I learned over Christmas break.

    I loved these questions that you asked yourself! I think its so important for our relationships to be completely present with those we love. I hope to be able to do the same media fast in the future during the holidays!

Even with all the media in the world, my body chooses to sleep. What is in the airplane air that makes me so tired?
