My Digital Detox Experience - A Mindful Exercise


This blog post records my one-hour digital detox experience, in which I refrain myself from all means of electronic and media uses.  The purpose of this digital detox is not to meditate, but to find my present self and to pay my attention to the way I pay attention.  For this digital detox, I have decided to spend an hour sitting in a quiet park nearby my university apartment while refraining myself from my phone and any other technological devices.  I picked this outdoor setting because I much preferred the fresh air outside to an indoor environment.  At 1 p.m., the park was not crowded and almost empty.  Therefore, I was able to be alone with my own thoughts for the entire hour without much distractions and external stimulations.
