Do something the old fashioned way | Day 54

Day 53 of 365 new ways to a new you. Congratulations, you have made it this far. Today is the first day of the rest of your life. Are you ready for tomorrow? This is part of a series that is going to span 365 days. Some things will be subtle other activities will be more involved. At the end of the 365 days even if you do only 20 of these things you will be a new person, for better or for worse.

Before I begin with day fifty four, I must defer you to our Terms and Conditions .

In our modern day society we get used to all the creature comforts we have. We are used to our microwaves, automobiles, mobile phones, and even electricity. There once was a time when none of these amenities existed.

Day 54: Do something the old fashioned way
Today act as if you are in the 1700’s. Don’t use anything that requires electricity. This is going to be more difficult than you might first think. If you are working on a project then refrain from using things that weren’t invented. You may be stuck reading a book in candle light while eating raw vegetables and fruit.

Living as if we are from a time long ago helps us to learn. We learn about the things we depend upon as well as the things we take for granted.
