Assignment Week #2 pt. 2

I've always been glued to my phone and I've become too dependent on it. So last weekend, as per assignment, I decided to stay away from my phone for a night. Unfortunately, the first couple hours were extremely rough for me. I felt myself becoming so bored without any instant information and entertainment that I usually had access to, and slight anxiety kicked in after a while as my wallet, my keys and the phone were three necessities carried with me all the time. Netflix distracted me from that blind panic for a little bit but I still couldn't help to look up on the clock to check how much time was left for this tough experiment to finish. I managed to calm myself down after a while and as time went by a sense of peace began to roll in. I started to notice all these sound in my apartment that I never noticed before: the steps my dogs were taking on the floor; the kids who were playing in the courtyard; the talk my neighbors were having, as well as the sound my AC was making.  I was able to relax myself and think of things to do. I became quite domestic and started doing all the house chores that's left from the weekend before, and I was able to finish all of them effectively. Later I decided to work on the potty-training for my new puppy since I'd been trying for weeks yet no satisfying outcome. Interesting enough I was able to catch him in action a couple times within that night. So I called the session a success. I did feel more relaxed after and almost started to enjoy it, but closed to the end of the experiment, I failed to persist and turned on the phone before my night ended.
