Every morning, I checked social media. Social media means apps for sharing pictures and messages. Then I stopped for two weeks.
At first, I still looked for my phone. I felt bored and a little lost. One morning, I made tea instead. I sat by the window. I saw a small bird outside. I heard the rain. My mind became quiet.
Soon, I had more time to think. I also talked more with my family. Studies show different results. A short break helps some people, but not everyone. (pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov)
For me, the change was simple. I did not need my phone each morning. A missing habit gave me a calm start.
