Celebrate Your Birthday Month: A Refreshing Journey Awaits
Written on
Chapter 1: Embracing the Birthday Month
Who wants a dull birthday when you can celebrate in a unique way? Every year, I eagerly await July because it marks the beginning of my birthday month! I strive to make it memorable by engaging in unconventional activities, depending on my mood at the time.
I might come across as a bit eccentric, but honestly, I cherish each experience, regardless of whether I succeed or not. The essence lies in prioritizing what feels right for me. Consider this list as a fun challenge rather than a burden! I have previously tried each of these ideas in smaller doses, and now I’m ready to fully embrace them.
So, get ready, as I’m about to share my exciting plans for this July!
Section 1.1: Early Morning Routine
First up, I’m committing to waking up at 5 AM for at least 21 days each month. Why 21 days, you ask? I’ve given this early bird lifestyle a shot before, and while it works for a few days, I often find myself lagging after that.
This time, I’ve devised a solid plan. During weekdays, waking up at 5 AM is manageable for me. However, on weekends, I plan to let my body sleep in without an alarm and see how it adapts. Who doesn’t crave some peaceful moments to journal, read, meditate, practice yoga, and set a positive tone for the day?
Section 1.2: Digital Detox
Let’s delve into points 2, 3, and 4 to properly manage our screen time.
Point #2: App Detox Mission
What if I give apps like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube a break? I’m planning to remove them from my phone for an entire month. Trust me, these apps are notorious for stealing my time, luring me into “working” on them, and then I end up mindlessly scrolling for hours. Just think of the time I’ll reclaim!
In this video, I share my plans for celebrating my birthday and how I'm making the most of my special month. You won't want to miss it!
Point #3: Embracing a Tech-Free Zone
That’s right—I'm dedicating 32 continuous hours to a tech-free experience just before my birthday. It’s time to say goodbye to screens and hello to good old-fashioned fun!
I’ll engage in games, enjoy nature, immerse myself in a good book, write, and pamper myself. Who needs gadgets when life offers so many simple joys?
Section 1.3: Phone Usage Control
Point #4: Limiting Phone Time
I’m determined to regain control over my digital life by restricting my phone usage to just 32 hours this month. I aim to cut my daily phone time down to one hour, encompassing everything from navigation to work calls, texts, and family connections.
Can you believe I logged 105 hours on my phone last month? Have you ever checked how much time your phone tracked last week?
Chapter 2: Health and Wellness Focus
Point #5: Aiming for 320,000 Steps
My goal is to walk a total of 320,000 steps this month, which means over 10,000 steps daily. It’s going to be a challenge, but with less time on screens, I’m excited about this! I’ll be using my digital watch to monitor my progress.
Point #6: Dining In
I’ve made the decision to refrain from spending any money on lunches or dinners from restaurants for this entire month (and the upcoming months too). Yes, you might be shocked! This is partly due to religious commitments, but it will also benefit my health immensely. Here’s to more delicious home-cooked meals!
Point #7: Ongoing Decluttering
The decluttering journey continues this month as well. I’m committed to letting go of 30-32 items each month. The satisfaction of creating space is invigorating! Even with intentional spending, we tend to accumulate more items. I still have plenty to part with to breathe easier!
Get ready to witness the exciting things I’ll achieve with all this newfound time! I’ll celebrate my birthday month with a digital detox party, crafting memories that I’ll cherish forever. Stay tuned to discover the amazing outcomes of dedicating time to myself and creating a joyful life (and month).
It’s going to be a fantastic journey!
