Vlog: 1 Jam Terpaku Di Kamar Hotel Horizon Tiba
Hey guys! Welcome back to my channel! Today's vlog is a little different, a bit more introspective, and hopefully, relatable. We're diving into a single, uninterrupted hour spent in my hotel room at the Hotel Horizon. The challenge? To simply be present. No scrolling, no work, just... observing. So, grab your snacks, get comfy, and let's explore this unusual experience together. This vlog chronicles a unique experiment where the primary activity is passive observation. We are going to explore what happens when we remove distractions and engage in a period of extended stillness. We'll examine the environment, our thoughts, and the subtle changes that occur when we are not actively pursuing a specific task or engaging with external stimuli. This setup allows for an examination of the value of quiet time in a world that is constantly moving. The recording begins as I settle into the room, taking in the various elements. These elements are the views outside the window, the interior design, and all the objects that exist within the room. I aim to document the initial moments when entering a new space and the feeling of establishing myself in an unfamiliar environment. Then, the process progresses into an attempt to actively refrain from using the phone or other similar distractions, promoting a deep engagement with the surroundings and internal thoughts. This process promotes a greater degree of self-awareness. The core of this vlog is centered on personal experience and observation. By setting aside the pressure to be productive or entertained, this helps in rediscovering the simple act of presence. It is a way to recharge the spirit and foster mental calm. This approach is intended to provide viewers with an opportunity to reflect on their own habits and daily routines and think about the role of technology and its constant demand for attention. Overall, it's about finding value in stillness, and exploring how our minds work when given the opportunity to simply be.
Persiapan & Pengaturan (Preparation & Setup)
Okay, before we get started, let's talk setup. This whole thing was pretty simple, honestly. I'm at the Hotel Horizon, a place I've always wanted to stay at. The room itself is gorgeous, and it has a great view. I set up my camera (just my phone, nothing fancy!) and hit record. The goal was to capture an hour of my time, no cuts, no edits, just raw footage. I chose this location because it's a new environment. Being in a new space can trigger unique observations and experiences. The intention was to document the transition into the setting and the initial impressions of the hotel room. The setting is ideal as it provides a blend of comfort, and offers an opportunity to experience an introspective period away from typical routines. The setup involved ensuring the camera's angle captured the main areas of the room, including the window, furniture, and any noteworthy elements that could catch my attention during the hour. Moreover, the camera was placed strategically so that it wouldn't interfere with my ability to move around or change my seating. The choice of the hotel room as the setting was to enhance the overall atmosphere of the experiment. This location introduces a degree of tranquility and escape from typical daily pressures, setting the stage for a calm and attentive exploration. I disabled notifications on my phone, and put it out of sight (a huge challenge, I know!). The main setup was making sure I was comfortable, had access to water, and that the lighting in the room was decent. The primary aspect was to minimize external influences and concentrate on the internal state, and to give all attention to the external environment. This included removing the distractions of the phone and other electronic gadgets. This setup helped enhance the feeling of immersion in the present moment, creating a solid base for the observation that would follow. Setting up this way was to create a focused experience.
Pengalaman Satu Jam (The One-Hour Experience)
Alright, here comes the juicy part! The first few minutes were filled with that initial excitement of being in a new space. I was checking out the room, the view, the little details. But then... the quietness. The silence of the room. That's when things started to get interesting. The feeling of stillness was very prominent. I found myself really focusing on the sounds, or rather, the lack of them. The subtle hum of the air conditioner, the distant traffic, the occasional bird chirping outside. It's funny how much you notice when you're actually listening. During the middle part of the hour, my mind started to wander. Thoughts, memories, ideas... they all came and went. It was like watching a movie reel of my own consciousness. I wasn't fighting the thoughts, I was simply observing them, letting them pass through. There were moments of boredom, of course. Moments where I almost reached for my phone. But I resisted. The ability to resist the urge became a central aspect of the experience. It showed the struggle to stay in the present and appreciate the value of patience. I started to notice things I hadn't before. The way the light shifted across the room, the textures of the furniture, the tiny imperfections. It was like my senses were heightened. This increased awareness of the physical environment allowed me to connect more deeply with the room. This awareness was crucial for maintaining focus throughout the hour and for drawing out the details of the room. The shift in perception emphasized the value of attentive observation, especially in the ordinary details of life. As the hour drew to a close, a sense of calm settled over me. It was like my mind had finally relaxed, and it was nice. I felt refreshed, focused, and present. It was a really good way to de-stress, I recommend it to you all.
Refleksi & Pemikiran (Reflection & Thoughts)
So, what did I learn from this experience? A few things, actually. First, our minds are crazy busy! We're constantly bombarded with information and stimulation, and we're always thinking about something. Taking a break from all that, even for an hour, can be incredibly beneficial. Secondly, stillness is powerful. It allows us to connect with ourselves, to observe our thoughts and feelings without judgment, and to simply be. The extended period of stillness offered a solid base for inner exploration and personal reflection. By separating from the distractions of daily life, I had the freedom to examine my thoughts and feelings and develop a greater understanding of myself. It highlighted the importance of carving out quiet time in a world that is always demanding our attention. It proved that taking time to withdraw from external influences can have a profound impact on one's well-being. It was a great mental refreshment. Finally, I learned that I can definitely do this again! I'm already planning my next hour of silence. I think it would be a cool way to practice mindfulness. It gave me a new perspective on slowing down. I encourage you guys to try it out too. Find a quiet space, set a timer, and see what happens. You might be surprised. It is also a good way to improve productivity. Remember, we all need time to recharge our mental batteries. Try it! Let me know what your thoughts are in the comments section below!
