Okay, I admit it—I’m a news addict. I love to check the news multiple times a day and keep updated on local and Israeli news. I bounce from site to site and check for any updates several times a day.
Recently, I went to an inspiring speech about the power of making small commitments in technology control and how a little change goes a long way. Feeling inspired to put my inspiration into action, I thought honestly about what I was willing to commit to and stick to. The big stuff ran through my mind, and I immediately felt overwhelmed by those options.
I decided that when I would search the Jewish sites for news, I would stop there. Usually, I would end up checking foxnews.com, and I would try to avoid doing that. Immediately, I felt a little silly. My kabbalah was so small that it almost felt embarrassing after an inspired high. Then I decided to stick to it.
I was shocked. This tiny commitment made me feel more in control of where I looked and what I clicked on. Because I made this small choice, my ability to choose—and not just be sucked into whatever I was looking at—grew stronger. I never expected that a little change would be so big.
