Last week, I took a day offline. No screen time. No phone. No computer. A purely analog day with myself. Since I work mostly online, that also meant no work.
It was easy, and it was hard at the same time. I realized how attached I have become to technology. Attached is a kind word.
The conclusion I came up with, at the end of my day, is: irrespective of the news and what’s happening in the world, if the best way to have a positive impact is to act responsibly and treat people and my environment with respect, kindness, and compassion, then I can simply concentrate on my output, on what I bring to the world, and disconnect at least partially from the input, the constant flow of news in media.
I will repeat this once a month.
