Digital Detox - Unplug Yourself - Part 1

---

Hello DTube!

This topic has been bothering me for some time, and today felt like it was the day to go to the beach and film Part 1 of my Digital Detox vlog (click on the picture above to view the video :).

What is "Digital Detox", you ask me. Well, I believe this is something that everybody will be doing in 20 years. Similar to how we quit smoking, limit ourselves in alcohol consumption and deal with sex addiction - we will have to face the monster that is impossible to avert your eyes from. The multi-headed dragon of social media and addiction to digital devices.

It's nice to meet you. My name is Elena, and I'm a digital junkie.

I sleep with my phone.

I eat with my phone.

Every time I stop at a traffic light, I have to check my phone.

I decided this has to stop.

So please join me on this fun 8-week challenge when I am going to introduce simple changes to my routine in an attempt to get my life back to normal. To get it back where it was ten years ago.

Don't get me wrong! I'm going to continue reaping the benefits of what this wonderful technology has to offer - only without abusing it. I'm still going to enjoy that glass of chardonnay at dinner - just one ;).

This week, I encourage all of you to buy an analog alarm clock (the idea belongs to Hive account@steemfluencer, and the thread that gave me the final nudge to start this vlog was started by Hive account@denmarkguy). Yes, you heard me! Buy a good old alarm clock and move your cell phone out of your bedroom. The idea is that you won't be checking your phone immediately after you wake up, or (if you're as crazy as I am) - when you wake up to pee in the middle of the night and check the phone right after.

I'm going to get that alarm clock today and post a picture of myself in the comment. Please join me on this fun challenge :)! And good luck!

xoxoxo
Love and peace,
Elena
