It is funny how awareness and mindfulness are the topic of our learning for this week. I say it is funny because during this virus time period, I have been on the internet quite a bit more than I would have otherwise.
I am glad that I have noticed what my habits were and what my habits are. I find myself spending over an hour on one TikTok, and while I am using the app, I tell myself, "Dude, you need to find something else to do you have wasted so much time." I am glad I am aware of this, as others may spend hours and hours on the app while not knowing where the time has gone. Normally, with the exception of this class through tweeting and blogging, I hardly even post things to the internet. This class, obviously, has increased my digital interactions tremendously. With that in mind, I am aware and conscience that I do not spend a crazy amount of time on internet interactions for personal reasons. Based on the "Quitting the Internet for a Year", and the benefits shown of being less involved over the internet, I am glad that is the case. I have noticed that getting on the internet and social media has a way of sucking away my energy. I am more energized when I am free from those things, or at least am more energetic when I spend less time engaging with them.

I have also found myself engaging more with technology during quarantine. As much as I don't like to admit.. I have spent a lot of time on TikTok. I don't ever post anything, I just watch the videos. After realizing how much time I spent on the app I knew it was best to delete it. I started feeling so much better after I deleted it.

That is a good idea, I might delete it too. My sister-in-law is wanting me to make another video though, so maybe after that!
