Today is officially Day 1 of my experiment but it all started last night. I figured I'd get an early start on the commitment. Little did I know that withdrawal would kick in right away.
Last night was so busy that I barely had any time to sit and watch a movie. But by the time it was really late I started to feel the pull to plunk a movie in. I resisted but it wasn't easy.
You might also be wondering, "Why does he always talk about movies and not regular T.V.?" We don't have cable. Movies are better anyway.
My purpose in all this is not to replace the relaxing time I sometimes spend watching a movie with being busy. What I would like to do is substitute this activity with another relaxing activity that will draw out my creativity.
Something happens to the soul after spending more time surviving than really expanding. What happens is a sense of brokeness and numbness.
So, yes I'm experiencing withdrawal and it's only Day 1. In fact, I'm barely started this mini-commitment but that's okay. I'll get through it. It will be worth it.
