It's been 20 days since I've given up Netflix, and it's gotten easier to do. I think part of it was being on Spring Break and keeping busy in other ways, and part of it is just realizing what other things I could be doing. I finally finished my book and looking for another one, and I finally have time to go swimming after class.
My dad was not happy that I gave up Netlix when I went home for Spring Break. Sometimes my family likes to chill and watch a TV show after dinner, most of which are on Netflix, and when I told him I couldn't watch it he reluctantly started a movie instead. And then another night he started playing Last Man Standing, forgetting my resolution, and I just let it go. What's Spring Break for if you don't get to relax a little bit, right?
Speaking of Spring Break, can we just take a moment to thank all of my professors who did not schedule homework and/or tests the first three days after I got back? 🙌
I think I can confidently say now that I haven't been as stressed since giving up Netflix. Maybe it's from forcing myself to do my homework ahead of time or maybe it's from more self-care by spending more time outside or with other people. It'll be interesting to see what happens once Lent is over.
