Today, I woke up late and we had an appointment around noonish an hour away in Queens. I woke up, took a shower, gathered my stuff and left. It was about 11.30 and was very likely that we would be late. The next thing I realized while waiting for the train was that I forgot my phone. For a second, I asked myself should I go back to get it. My other self told me that if I went back, I would make everyone late for the appointment and I was reluctant for a bit but I was sure that one day without a phone would be a fun challenge for myself. So, I made decision and we hopped on the train without my cell phone.
The day went by okay, not too fast and not too slow. Surprisingly, I did not feel like checking my phone as often. I concentrated more on tasks at hands. Plus, I was more aware (than usual) of where my husband and our friends were to make sure that we would not get lost. I was able to occupy my free time with conversations and looking at things around me more closely with more attention instead of staring at my cell phone screen and constantly refreshing it. I did not feel bad not having my phone with me for the entire day today. It is such a relief for me because I take this as a proof that I am not addicted to my phone. YES!!!
One thing I missed throughout the day though was taking pictures. Everytime I saw something that caught my eyes, I could not take my phone out and take pictures as always. That bother me for a bit, yeah, only a tiny bit. The rest was totally and completely fine. :)
Until tomorrow…..
