Unplugged

In a world of endless scrolling
Where screens dictate our pace
I find a quiet solace
In a digital free space
Eyes glued to glowing rectangles
As we walk and drive, unaware
Missing moments, losing presence
In a web of virtual snare
Once a week, I break the cycle
Disconnect to reconnect
With nature, thoughts, and feelings
A practice of self-respect
Stress dissolves like morning mist
Happiness, a gentle rise
Calm and peace, my faithful friends
In this digital-free reprise
I see the world with clearer eyes
Hear the whispers of the trees
Feel the rhythm of my heartbeat
In these moments, I am free
Let us cherish real connections
Embrace the world outside the screen
For in the art of digital detox
We find the space to dream
I regularly schedule time to shut off my electronics. While my life and hobbies don't allow to fully disengage, I do completely disengage from my phone. There's an app called, "Digital Detox." I allow this app full access to my phone. Which means when I am detoxing, I cannot get back into my phone, other than to make an emergency call, unless I want to pay the app. I have not paid yet, and I don't plan to. The longest detox I've done so far is 12 hours. Now that I have a second phone for business purposes only, I plan on attempting an entire day.
