Whhaaatt??!! You got a response from Puravida on this one—can’t I just one-up you one time?! 😉
You’re getting your own article here, toots!
So I’m on day three of my new ish. After thinking about what you told me and limiting your time, and then I wrote an article how I quit smoking, @plantstoplanks, check it out...
I’ve since began practicing staying away from here and it’s running its course. This week I have woken up in the am (like I am now), giving myself just enough time to address responses like I’m doing now, 1 hr tops, post a new article (that’s already written) and get offline. This will be my third day in a row doing that.
It was an experiment on day 1 that led to an enlightening feeling—I don’t use enlightening lightly either. So I did it again yesterday to make sure it wasn’t a fluke—it’s not.
• I haven’t had to watch my account lead the platform in downvotes, either, it’s comfortable.
• A follower I loved ignores me now because I corrected his grammar (dang—I didn’t realize ‘English instructors’ were so sensitive). I’m not concerned about him anymore.
• My phone stays in pocket on adventures other than to capture images—that’s it!! Haven’t been checking steemworld during the day at all.
The market took a ish, no way my absence caused that though.
• Quite a few other things, Plants, and I’m only on day three. So far, so great! Only three days in and I’m already doing things like considering my own website—one without douchbags who downvote producers and whales who just consume, jerk each other off, and allow it to happen.
• This is a needed adjustment.
• Look at how many’fa king downvotes every.single.one of my articles gets and all of the’fa king whales are circle jerking each other so fat wallets and witnesses are taking profits and a daily content producer outranks everyone in the downvote department (Nah, I’m not pissed at all—not even a little bit).
Dear @plantstoplanks,
What I’m trying to say is, I took myself offline and I can’t be more pleased with the results—thanks for the inspiration.
Shoot me a line on discord—I wanna keep in contact with you. God bless you guys, Plants, have a great day. 👍🏿

Well firstly, I was pretty darn pumped to log in and see your lady grace my notifications with a comment. A super boost to my morning for sure. 😊
Secondly, I 💯 percent understand what you mean when you say "enlightening" as that's pretty much how I've felt, as well. I'm still working on that perfect schedule of checking in vs. everything else, but even in the few weeks of allowing myself to have the afternoon off or letting my replies go for a few days has really been a huge boost to my well-being.
Kind of funny how things work sometimes. Already in just putting the intent out into the world that I'm going to be putting my energy into other things I've picked up a new nutrition client and new personal training client. I can feel a change coming, in a really good way. I just needed a kick in the pants to push me to work towards it. 😜
I'm still popping in on my pals on here and doing what I can to support the contests and projects I enjoy, but I'm not stressing if I go a week or so without knocking out a post. I reserve the right to whip out a post a day for a week at any given point if I so desire, but if that badge never pops up again I'm pretty alright with that, too.
Feeling pretty darn good here my friend, so I'm super pumped my good vibes have extended your way. Can't wait to be a tiny little fly on the windshield as you continue to cruise on down the highway of life, as well. Heading on to seek you out in discord now...
