When I thought about sitting down and isolating myself for a period of time as today’s assignment asks me to do, I figured I would do my usual routine when I take a break from the world. Almost every day, I make an effort to take a little break from all my obligations so I can decompress and evaluate all the life around me and the experiences I’m going through. I started my own version of meditation last year and I found it very helpful for my overall wellbeing. During my fifteen minutes of meditation for this assignment, I walked over to my dorm’s quiet study. I checked if anyone was around, and afterward, I entered and got myself settled. A thing I don’t talk about often with most people I’m close with is that I love to daydream, and I’ve daydreamed ever since I could remember. I daydream about the first appealing thing that comes to mind, and that thought turns into a runaway freight train of ideas and creates a narrative in my mind that I find enjoyable. For the first part of the period, I daydreamed about playing basketball. I mentioned in my small biography last class that I played back in high school and I still love to play. Earlier that afternoon I’d been catching up to one of my closest friends from home that I made playing hoops, and through talking about old times I got my mind thinking about that. Afterward, I thought about what I did this weekend. My girlfriend visited UD for our one year anniversary over the weekend, so I thought about the overall experience and revisited everything we did in my head. I then daydreamed about my dogs back home, as I realized that I haven’t given them a lot of thought since I been back to school. I imagined what they would be doing right then, and how we would go on nice, long walks on the open land when I got back. I set a timer on my phone to go off when the fifteen minutes ended, and soon after my last thoughts, it went off and I went along with my day. Overall it was an uneventful experience for me, mainly I think because I take a break from outside influences often, and I’d genuinely say that social media wasn’t on my mind.
