Event 3

24 hour unplug challenge: switch off all of your electronics for a whole day, including your computer, TV, and phone. When you're not connected, take notes on your feelings in your notebook using a pencil or pen. Write about it as well if you are unable to complete the whole 24 hours. The weekend is the ideal time to accomplish this, and please tell your friends and family. You can do this from anywhere.

I recently disconnected from all electronics as part of the 24-hour unplug challenge. I tried using my phone more involuntarily throughout this challenge as it was hard to resist the urge to check it. Nonetheless, I felt at ease and at ease since there was no technology or other connections. In the absence of electronics, I noticed that I was more aware of my surroundings. I was even able to adjust my sleep pattern since I stopped using several applications just before bed. One thing that was a little difficult was how lengthy the day seemed to be. Although the slower pace of the day frustrated me a little, it also gave me a renewed feeling of awareness and made me feel more connected to my thoughts. 

As the 24-hour mark drew near, I thought back on the whole thing. The internet detox first gave me a lot of anxiety. I became aware of how dependent on digital connections I was making my everyday life, as well as how dependent on my phone. I came close to failing the task several times because of ingrained inclinations. But by getting more sleep or doing other distracting things like working out or cleaning my room, I was able to reroute these cravings. These substitute pursuits offered a constructive method to manage the uneasiness I had about my detachment. 

For me, this assignment was a really eye-opening experience. I've attempted this challenge several times before, but I was never able to stick with it since I found it hard to put down my electronic gadgets. But having survived the digital detox, it motivated me to make frequent digital detoxes a part of my everyday schedule in order to maintain a healthy balance between my online and offline life.
