Unplugged

I’ve been unplugged for more than 24 hours. 

Except for some brief checking of FB and filing the barest of blog posts using my iPhone, my brain is at rest from digital overload. 

It seems like these digital fasts are possible only when our devices are physically removed. I don’t know that I have the discipline to do it otherwise. Truth be told, I do not check email on Fridays, so I am able to do an email fast for a day. Usually I try to not power up the laptop at all on Friday, except for a usually brief window when I’m blogging.

As I reflect on the experience, I weigh the brain rest that comes with a digital fast against the anxiety of wondering what I’m missing. 

There’s a spiritual challenge in here somewhere.
