Do anything but be on your phone! post recs and asks on a laptop or public computer! Find new hobbies! Make art, call your sister, tell someone you love them, eat your favourite meal, make a paper chain, read stone butch blues, get into analog music, get a pen pal, make a tiny horse out of clay, think about your survival, drink juice, take a vow of sincerity, apologise for lack thereof, smile at people in the street, wave at babies, lie in the sun, do anything!

🌳as someone who will wait by my phone for hours all for a measly text back, I think it’s time I break this habit and to implore others to do so as well.
• experience a texture other than your phone screen. (ex. a loved ones skin, oobleck, soap suds.) • write a letter to someone you love. (could even be to yourself or a pet!) • take a long, warm bath. • start the book you bought months ago and have not touched since. • invest in some physical media. (if you can’t hold it in your hands, you don’t own it! even though the internet is “forever“, it’s pretty impressive how some media can be completely wiped/altered from the internet!) • trim your hair ;) • sit outside in the sun like a plant photosynthesizing. • stop waiting for good things to come to you and create the good you wish to see in the world.
life is far too short to spend it mindlessly scrolling on these mini-supercomputers and letting others dictate your mood.

😃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.

🌮Normal life is not being hitched to your phone like cattle in a yoke
Human thriving for thousands of years occurred without ready screen access
So I'd say: try anything but don't have your phone with you—go for a walk, hang with friends, draw, write, figure out a way to take pictures or listen to music without the phone; go to the store or class or to the party without it
I'm in this journey myself. Forcing myself to notice. Forcing myself to think differently. So instead say: I don't bring my phone with my everywhere. What's a good reason to have it this time? Changing the defaults.

☕Drink a double shot of espresso while warming the shower. Sip the tiny cup of coffee and leave the cup on the side of the sink while you are showering. Its like the amuse-bouche of a refreshing routine.

♥️In stressful times or environments, or even regular times, it is especially important knowing that the whole point is love. Its collecting things for the sake of it, its hugging your friends for not reason, its sitting by a fireplace on a cold day, its colourful cutlery. Everything is for love and im learning to be careful,
