Have you ever done a social media detox or are you longing for it 📵? If you did, how did you do it and what did you learn? I'm curious to hear about your experiences!
I loved this video, thank you. I have joined 2 3-day silent meditation retreats and the 11 day vipassana silent meditation retreat without any phones ans no speaking or looking at each other but I realised that we conmunicate with people on some level anyway by just beeing in the same spot so next I will try a couple of days completely alone.
Like you I have also postponed to have a smartphone for the longest time. I had my first at the end of 2016. I don't struggle too much with it though for some reason. I have very view apps on it and hardly take it with me when I leave the house. But still I see the issues of course! And how it changed the whole society and way of being of people. The thing is, as soon as it is out of my sight, I don't think of it much, but when I have it close I also tend to look at it often. Our home is only heated with two wood stoves. No central heating. We have one tiled stove, but it is not possible to keep the house warm enough with it in winter. But in addition with the kitchen wood stove it is possible, but we have to keep the fire constantly alive in the cold days and yes, it is a lot of work! In the beginning I was upset about it, but now I do not want any other heating system! To make a fire every day and keep it alive is grounding and yes, also humbling and it shows you each day how grateful you can be to have it warm. An no electricity is needed, so if there is a power loss, we can still cook on it and have it warm! It gives me safety. But I can tell you that it is no fun when you have to carry wood and keep the fire alive when you are very sick, have a flu or so. Nevertheless I'm drawn to simplicity in every area of my life. But yes, simplicity is not implicitly always simple to achieve in the times we live in. The tiny house cabin is really charming with it's little garden! It is surley a wonderful place to practice mindfulness!
When I was a single man I used to be without my phone and computer from thurday evening to sunday evening. I was very nice and I was relaxed in a diffrent way. My art studio is similar as this cabin, but I have a window in the ceeling, and two stoves for fire. Rats lives under my studio.
I only have a wood burning stove and know the amount of work it takes and the fire science to heat the cabin. Having lived with gas heat and electric heat my observation is that the wood stove radiant heat waves warm the body deeper into the core than the other ways of heating. With out social media and the internet all of us around the world would be separated by large spaces. I do know what you mean as my iPhone follows me wherever I go and it is a distraction from observation of nature and from observation of my inner state. Thank you for sharing your cabin life... :)
I really felt like one has to become friends with the wood stove and one day is way too short to getting to know it well and form a great cooperating team, haha. It was definitely a very humbling and grounding experience though, which I love about it! You're right about the separation that exists without the phone. That's the thing I probably love most about it. The ability to connect with your loved ones wherever they or you are. The problem is, that this thing is so easily addictive and distractive. At the same time: a great teacher of self discipline I guess 🙃
@ Good way to put it becoming friends with the wood stove and to know your wood as some burns hot and some wood is still full of moisture will burn with out much heat. Keeping wood dry throughout the long cold winter is another task. Truly nothing beats sitting by the fire with the morning cup of coffee staring into the flames and musing about the mystery of life💗
I really enjoyed this video! From time to time and especially when things go “wrong” in our modern world I get “mad” at myself and my parents that they didn’t teach me anything about the basic and primitive way of life; how to fix things, how to make others work etc. Then again, why would they; we are privileged to live in an era when none of these skills is necessary on a daily basis . And yet, it feels more natural. Makes me realize how lucky I am and how little effort I put into the things I want to do even though menial tasks like making a fire is not on my to do list. Keep bringing clarity though your videos, you are amazing at story telling!! P.s I am also afraid of ladders; and heights in general ❤

Sounds like nice long, unplugged weekends! A habit that might be worth keeping 😊. Thank you for sharing!
