In a world where we check notifications every few minutes, spending even one hour away from social media sounds unrealistic. But I decided to give it a try—and what happened shocked me.
1. My Thoughts Slowed Down
Without constant scrolling, my mind actually felt like it was breathing. I wasn’t jumping from reel to reel. I was thinking clearly.
2. I Noticed My Environment
For the first time in a while, I looked out the window and noticed the sky, the trees, the little things we often ignore.
3. I Felt Less Anxious
No likes to count, no comparison, no bad news to absorb. That one hour felt like a mini vacation for my brain.
4. I Had Time for Me
I wrote in a notebook. I made tea. I just sat in silence—and it felt calming, not boring.
5. I Realized I Wasn’t Missing Anything
When I went back to my phone, nothing major had changed. But inside, I felt refreshed and lighter.
So, what if you tried the same? You might be surprised too.
