Intro
Last week my good friend Allison posted on Instagram about a Look up Challenge she was doing with Dr. Katie Penry. The Look Up Challenge is a 7 day guided challenge and starts every 7 days.
Dr. Penry talks a lot about mom's and their interactions with their young children. So for you parents out there this is directed specifically to you. I do not have children and I still enjoyed this challenge and listening to this podcast.
I struggle with social media and how I interact with it and the influence it has in my life so I decided to take the challenge.
This inspired me to take pictures each day and record what happened when I looked up!
DAY 1
Goals
On the first day she encourages us to set some specific, measurable and attainable goals.
My goals
Be someone that engages with my phone (and computer) with intention.
Tell myself why I am using my phone
For a week record why I am looking at/ using my phone
Buy a watch! (I bought a Hello Kitty watch!)
Pictures
The pictures I sent to Allison of my looking up on my way to work to show her what I was seeing as I looked up.
Walk from office to car
I work on a university campus and I park at a lot that is a mile from my office. For two reasons: 1. It is less expensive. 2. I get some good exercise each day, at least a 2 mile walk.
It was so great to look up from my phone and see Arizona State University's beautiful campus again!
