OH it is scary inititally, Lighter. Thomas mentions that early in the video. There's fear of missing out (FOMO) and a feeling of being "irresponsible" because one is NOT contactable (my head's litany). Michael couldn't go 24 hrs without having a TV. My little cabin, south of here, had no service either. I had to drive out to the end of the road to make a call or text. Almost sold it to BiL just for that reason... LOL. He worked in IT too.
That is the combined dopamine response and pavlovian "obedience" model at work. But in 24-48 hrs most people can breathe free-er and sense more time/space in their mental existence... and turn toward more active ways to pass the time and connect face to face with more people.
Among all age groups, I'm seeing an intentional adjustment to limit one's exposure online and reflexive behavior to the phone. A new life/tech balance if you will.
lighter:
I don't miss noise when working in nature.
I DO miss it while indoors. If I'm moved to put something into the air....music and nature noises/storms/green noise bring energy and/or a calm mind.
We have potable water back, as of today!!!

Water sounds like a step in the right direction! So many things we don't realise the importance of until it's not easy to get them. Baby steps in the right direction xx
sKePTiKal:
Glad you got water back! But I'd be extra careful and have it tested by an independent lab. I've heard MANY reports about the floods dispersing local toxins around. You don't need any additional complications.

Be a great time to use a Burkee for household drinking water....
