Media Fast!

So dear loved ones,

I will be undertaking a Media fast for at least 2 weeks starting tonight at around 9 pm. I will be going to the Temple and then preparing for General Conference this weekend. I was inspired to start this fast while at a Redefining Beauty presentation yesterday. I have decided that I need to cut out damaging media that can be harmful and degrading to my self-esteem, self-perception, and my standards of beauty and what is feminine or masculine for all others as well. For the next 2 weeks I will only be listening to uplifting music that brings the spirit, watching devotional, and General Conference. I am in school however, so I will be limiting my computer use to necessary email, internet for work and research, and things I absolutely have to do for school. I will also, probably be limiting my text messaging. I feel like I just need a breather; a refresher to bring me back to what is really important, who we really are, who I really am.

With mobile phones, we can be reached almost anywhere and at any time. These next two weeks are my fast from technology. I will be writing in an ACTUAL Journal and will then post about the experience in roughly 14 days. If I am enjoying the peace of mind and heart then I may continue the experiment a bit longer.

I am and will forever be learning,

Patience.
