I am somewhat doing okay with my plan because someone thought it would be funny and text me a question as if something had happened so i replied. This is how the conversation went, ANTHONY: “OMG Guess what?!” ME: “What????” ANTHONY: “you just failed your english project.” An effect giving up my rut has had on my life was that texting really isnt the problem. Having so many other electronic devices to provide entertainment is the real problem. “The beauty of nature reforms itself in the mind” in order for “new creation.” With that being said, in order for my mind process to create a new habit from the one i am taking away i must embrace the environment i am in and adapt to that surrounding instead of the one i have created for myself. I feel pretty good about the project because it has helped me do more important things and focus a little bit more but then again i do not like it because i get bored. Other people have been shocked when I told them about giving up this rut because they all know how addicted i am to texting and just being on my phone in general. Some have tried to get me to cheat and others are leaving me alone until this project is over.
