I recently tried to reset my life by disconnecting and, to some extent, isolating myself from the world I had created. I wanted to go back to my pre-social media era, when my life was simple—less noisy and complicated. I wanted to go back to when sitting on the porch and people watching was the highlight of my day. I replaced scrolling through my timelines with listening to nature, listening to music, and watching episodes of Murder, She Wrote, Columbo, Leave it to Beaver, and Girlfriends. I know, strange mix. I sent emails to inform people of my unavailability and canceled appointments and meetings.
I just needed to sit and be.
I needed to think about life, about the world I had created, and the world I’m currently creating.
I needed the calmness. I needed the peace of just being.
Today, my very short, much-needed break is over. If tomorrow weren’t Good Friday, I would have taken one more day for myself. But now, I have to jump back into the real world. The world I, Shaun, created. Will it be less noisy? Definitely not! I have a million and one things I need to do. But I needed the break.
Time to get moving!♥️
