Pocket phone detox:
And remember to detox from your pocket phone
sometimes.
Just put it away and use a bhompompo for a bit.
Get away from the internet, from the socials.
Free the mind from the constant flow of
information and visuals.
Don’t over saturate the mind with meaningless
scrolling and reacting.
We get lost in a virtual world that we carry in
our hands and pockets,
And tend forget the world we carry in our
minds, bodies, souls.
We live our lives based on what we are sending
and receiving in our pocket phones,
And tend to forget to look up, away from the
screen, and into the world.
Into the reality of our being, into the core of
our souls.
Somehow the pocket phone is detaching us from
ourselves, our circle of people,
Somehow the pocket phone is changing the ways
we interact with each other, how we behave.
It is telling us when to react by giving us
notifications.
It is telling us how to react by giving us
emojis.
And if you dare let its battery run low, it
warns you not to let its power off.
You urgently make a plan to plug it in and feed
it power, so it keeps feeding off you.
What would happen if you stopped feeding it.
What would happen if you stopped giving it
power.
There are answers to those questions.
But they are only found when you detox from the
pocket phone.
Put it away for a bit. Look around you. Take in
the view.
Look within. Find your inner being. Find your
purpose.
Then continue with your pocket phone and keep
it moving.
