One month no internet challenge
    #19386785 - 01/08/14 07:49 AM (10 years, 23 days ago)

Here it is- I'm going to be taking a month off from all but "essential" internet. Anyone wanna join me? I think this will be very good for my mind, body, and spirit. I waste a lot of time and energy doing futile things in the interwebs. Gotta take a break.

I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain.

You said you didn't realize there was such a thing.  I'm saying there clearly is.  Maybe not for everyone but for a lot of people.

I use the internet far too much for things I deem important (school, work, language learning, listening to music, instruction, communication) to give it up entirely. I will, however, take up an alternative challenge and drop social media for 30 days. So that means no shroomery, no reddit, and no facebook. Let's see how it goes. I'll see y'all in thirty days. (Maybe sooner, :lol:)

Can't do it. I need a certain amount of shroomery any given day or I may jus go bath salt crazy and not be held responsible for my actions.

You should stick with it, it's very liberating. I assume essential internet would be work or keeping in touch with certain people who you otherwise couldn't get in touch with.
There's more to do outside then there is to see online ! :laugh:

I go nuts when the cable (we have cable internet) goes down for a few hours..

No way in hell I'm going 30 days without it. Even 1 would be a challenge.

With my face against the floor I can’t see who knocked me out of the way.
I don’t want to get back up but I have to so it might as well be today.
Nothing appeals to me no one feels like me, I’m too busy being calm to disappear.
I’m in no shape to be alone contrary to the shit that you might hear.


You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being

Remember it essentially becomes pointless if you are denying yourself. You understand that these things are meaningless life diversions done in place of something emotive that actually means something to you. This is a process of freedom and discovery rather than the denial of anything :thumbup:

But for it to mean anything you must embody the positivity of what you wish to achieve. This is not denial it is allowing yourself to grow. Saying I'm not going to do "X" for 10 days to prove I can do it and then on day 11 I go back to "X" just shows how dependent on "X" I am so whats the point? Is this a demonstration of will power (which is nonsense) or a dedicated course around recognising that what you normally do in life is supplementary, unhelpful and disposable?
