It Really Is the Damn Phone | My Analog Era Continues

It really is the damn phone. I’ve been thinking a lot about how much of my free time disappears into scrolling, and how much happier I feel when I’m actually making, creating, exploring and enjoying the life happening right in front of me. This week didn’t quite go as planned (our little trip to Almonte was cancelled), but sometimes the best things come from unexpected changes of plans. There was a spontaneous visit with a sweet new friend, a little thrifting, sourdough baking, visible mending, crafting, and adding a few more fun pieces to my dopamine wardrobe. I’m leaning into my analog era: rekindling old hobbies, trying new things, making things with my hands, getting creative with my clothing and self expression, and remembering that there’s so much joy to be found when we’re creating more than we’re consuming. Less scrolling, more living. More hobbies, more curiosity, more little bits of everyday magic. ❤️ Let continue on with an Analog Fall, y’all! A few things you’ll find in this vlog: ● Analog living & less screen time ● Thrifting and building a dopamine wardrobe ● Sourdough baking and homemade bread ● Visible mending and creative hobbies ● Crafting, slow living and everyday joys ● Finding more joy and confidence in midlife and perimenopause
