Undoubtedly most of us are surrounded by electronic gadgets most of the time of day.
With the advent of internet we have tons of information bombarded on us every single minute that we look into our smartphones, iPads or laptop.
The internet has almost become like an addiction. Where staying away for more than an hour gives us anxiety.
So many movies and series to watched on ott platforms. So many games to play. Having to watch every beauty tutorial or family vlogs or some political debates, the amount of content available on YouTube in unparallel.
The sheer need to check everyone's wedding photo album or their trip to Goa. Or just watching cat and dogs funny videos. There is just so much that we are taking in without realising.
In year 2020 when corona decended upon us just like everyone else I also had to sit at home, prepare for my exams, I just saw myself looking at the phone through days and weeks. I didn't have anything else to do and I am not proud of it.
So from now I do wanna change my need of wanting to check my phone.
I want to just want to go for a walk and enjoy my morning sun 🌄. I want to enjoy every morsel of food. I want to enjoy every sip of my morning tea. I just want to lay on my bed and be idle and breath in and breath out.
I want to analyse my thoughts while I am shitting. I want to meet people, talk to them hug them and not just virtually. I want to experience the beach and the moutains in real and not on the instagram pics.
I know it's not going to be easy to sit idle but I want to make small changes. I am goin to start sitting idle starting 5 mins of the day and see where this experience takes me.
Being idle would bring me happiness, I am not sure. But it will definitely bring some headspace.
I just want to live like how we were in our childhood days just playing in the park and not on our phones.
U know how old people sit on chair in their balcony or in the park reading newspaper 🗞️ I want that.
Or the saints who go deep into the mountains for mediation , may be I want to there.
