My Experience with NO Snapchat






kind of awkward  post I know but I thought it would be nice to share my experience with you guys living for almost two weeks without snapchat


How did it start 

I always felt like I have to reduce checking on snapchat , every morning I wake up am like ok where is my phone whats new on snapchat and that is totally unhealthy
So I felt I should stop using it for awhile , after reading Michelle Phan Book specially the social media or digital detox part am like hmmm now it is the right time to do it ,  the same day I finished reading the book I was like Okay this is it! lets delete this App and have little peaceful break


Addiction Symptoms 

sounds serious symptoms huh ? well the first couple of days I would wake up and look for the snapchat app and then am like Woopss I deleted it , then I switched my snapchat addiction to Instagram "Funny how things can go " . right away I figured this is aint going to work so I kept leaving my phone the whole day after coming back from work and keep on living normally  read more and play my sims more :P


keep it simple and real 

the big lesson that I learned from this short experience is that I totally forgot how to live my life simply in away I don't worry about filming recording or whatsoever , better be in the moment with my soul and heart is present at this current moment .


Thoughts 

I think the next time I will re-use the snapchat am going to have few rules there , keeping in mind protecting my privacy and my family privacy too




I truly want to thank all of my friends who texted asking and misses my presence of their snapchat timeline , you made me feel really loved and special


what about you my smart readers any plans to take digital break anytime soon  ? don't forget to share your thoughts


Love you

Anoofah ❤

I experienced this when i travelled to Tanzania, there was barely any signal and internet over there. Best part is that i enjoyed every moment capturing the beautiful country with my own eyes and memory and the saddest part is that i couldnt share wat I saw with my friends and followers! All and all, it was a nice experience but super challenging!

Great decision Anoofah!
Sometimes I have the same feelings regarding social media. There are times when I feel myself very attached to my phone and my apps, and forget to get some peace from them! For sure we live in the digital age, and almost everything is conducted via smartphones, but that for certain doesn't mean getting addicted to them!

Your decision is good for your mental health, and I sometimes do the same, seperate myself from the virtual life a little bit!

May Allah bless you and brighten your way.

Thank you For letting Me be part of your lives

Month ago, me and my students went to our college farm where we decided to enjoy the weather along with other college staff, Ok! I would call it a “Family trip” So the place was so quite and nice and the funny part I was wearing heels so you know how hard to walk with them while stepping on sand “WOW” my students kept laughing at me took some pictures too , they even told me whenever they came to take their classes in the farm they make sure to wear flats. And it seems they totally forgot to notify me “ as they know am high heel girl “ . Everything was so perfect no boundaries, we all felt like ourselves, and what made me   really happy that my students kept sharing their lives story with me without worrying that I might judge them and all , smile was on my face all the time , I truly felt like am back to the old days when I was in college and we used   to go for such trips and all and all I recall was laughter and funny stories . I believe that such conversa...

What happened ?

Last week i got a call from one of my friends whom I haven't spoke to since maybe forever ! its been a while i admit and i know lots of things have been going on with her life , same thing goes to me .. and its really nice of her calling me just to catch up with all of these dramatic changes that we both had and did not had the chance to talk about .... So one of things that we talked about was who are we still keeping in touch with , referring to college friends , and after mentioning  certain names she was quit upset of those who did not call her and after hearing that she got married , they're back just to know who's the guy , when and how they got married you know the silly kind of questions , Am like WTH :\ ?   why things have changed , now they would  call just for checking whether you worked \got married\traveled  ... not to check how's actually YOU !! i don't know if you guys got what I mean ... After we hang up I kept thinking what happened to us ? wh...
