My 100 Days Without a Mobile Phone
When was the last time you left home without your mobile phone? Can you imagine yourself living a month,or even a year without checking your mobile phone from time to time?
As a busy modern person with lots of social connections,plans and responsibilities,I just cannot afford not to be in touch with the rest of the world. Staying connected to other people is a big part of my life. However,sometimes it can be bothersome(烦人的).
One day I discovered I was terribly tired out. I tried turning notifications(通知)off. But the fear of missing out something important made me check the phone more often than before. So,I simply stopped using my phone.
Well,to tell the truth,it was not simple at all. For the first couple of days,I had a big fear that all of my friends would soon forget about me. When I had a free moment,I had no idea what to get myself distracted(分心的)with,and the worries mixed with boredom kept bothering me.
However,after three weeks without a mobile phone,I started noticing changes—changes which I liked,and which drove me to not just continue the experiment,but in fact to reorganize some of my habits.
First of all,I noticed that I became much more focused(专注的). Before,while doing something,I would often find myself wondering what was going on online. After a month of staying away from my mobile phone,I found that the urge(冲动)was already not that strong and that my ability to focus improved.
I discovered that the world is a beautiful place. Before,I would look at it through my camera mostly:take a photo,post it,and get some likes. Now,I saw beautiful people walking around and I sensed the change of seasons. I could understand the actual beauty of the world,and I did not need anyone else to prove the value of this beauty through likes or shares.
Now,as 100 days have passed,I can say that the experiment was worthwhile. I am planning to stay away from my phone for as long as possible.
