It’s hard but refreshingly powerful to take your eyes off the screen and experience your environment. Sounds, smells, reading facial expressions. Touch surfaces, the table infront of you, maybe the stool you’re sitting on. Try to describe the texture as detailed as possible. We’re often overstimulated visually from all the screen time but there are four more senses (actually seven, counting the perception of temperature, movement as well as your sense of balance) waiting to be fed. Next time you’re early for your lunch date, don’t stare at your phone. Use this precious moment to look around.
