You, yes you. Put down your phone. Remove all electronics from your person and exist for a moment.
Sing a song. Or jump up and down. Scream. Or go outside and take a deep breath. Pet the damn dog. Feel connected to humanity by disconnecting. The skin where you wear your Apple Watch needs some sun so go outside and get some. Don’t track that workout this time; don’t worry it still counts even if you don’t close your rings.
Yes this post is advice for myself as much as it is for others.

recent mental health booster I stumbled onto when my phone ended up dead one morning, so I went to a cafe near me to journal/read for a couple hours without it. there were so many times I phantom reached for my it like the addict I am, very glad I couldn’t that day or else stupid things would have been done. I was forced to sit in the moment and process my thoughts without being able to actively do anything or contact anyone. did it the next day purposely and I had such a good day.
leave your phone at home sometimes when you’re bumming around your area doing small errands! also forces you to learn your surroundings rather than relying on google maps.

It’s actually terrifying at first, but even around the block it’s clarifying and helps me reset. I’ll literally walk out of my office and walk around the block phoneless and count pigeons to get back in my body and press restart.

take yourself out to a nice dinner, get a good cocktail, bring a nice book, and enjoy the vibes - people watch like crazy also

too many choices on streaming services and sometimes it can get way too daunting, having to purchase your music individually makes me more discerning about what music I listen to, and when I listen to it. shout out bandcamp, owning your music is the way
