8/7

Today I started my first day of my digital detox. It’s been very quiet and calm today because of it. It isn’t that bad but I am definitely looking forward to it ending. After breakfast I read for a pretty long time and then finished all my requirements except for my run and then had lunch and read a little more until my mom and sister came back from work. After hanging with them for a bit. Me and my sister went to the gym where I completed my run and stretched for some time, waiting for my sister to complete her workout. I only used my phone when I needed to, like for my journal, duolingo, and a meeting for an organization I’m a part of. No electronics left me alone with my thoughts a lot which was peaceful but odd in a way. I just came home from the gym and am about to have dinner, shower and head to sleep.
