1st an elaboration on ur screen time- what apps do u use the most? think of why.
2nd then find substitutions for them. for example ive replaced phone time with laptop time for when im at home
ive replaced phone when outside and bored or in transit with reading a book or observeing the world around me.
interrogate why you spend so my time on your phone; and what else you could be doing.
remeber we all go thru peaks and troughs.... stay strong queen.

i have been on a journey to untangle my tasks from my iPhone.
i'd be out in the world someplace, pull out my phone for something as menial as checking the time, or as well intentioned as capturing the moment in a pic, and immediately get sucked into texts and instagramโข๏ธ and all the virtual things happening in this tiny lil demon light box.
the goal: pull my phone out of my bag ONLY for phone things. that's texting, calling, and apps that can't be replaced
the solutions so far:
๐ฐ๏ธ i started with a watch (shoutout Casio) and i wear it every day. once I broke the habit of checking my phone for the time, I felt legitimately freed from something Major
๐ท I bought a small digital camera to leave in my bag. the pics look better and I donโt get distracted by the virtual world when I'm trying to capture something in the now
๐ I bought a kindle. It fits in my jacket pocket (literally) and gives me something to do when I'm on the train or waiting for an appointment that isn't scrolling
I just realized so much of the time I spent on my phone was not intentional. It was a thing I was doing in between Other intentional moments. my screen time is still several hours a day (donโt get me wrong) but I think my brain has healed at least 3%.

For example, if you play games(crosswords?) on your phone u could buy a cheap crossword book. Also imo not all screens are bad- like i'm assuming u are using a screen to access pi.fyi. maybe think of them like that; watching a peice of art(film/tv) done thru screen?screens can be an access to the beauty of the world so dwindle ur use to that and not doomscrolling. maybe go a bit more analog try dvds cds, perhaps interacting differently with tech is ur breakthrough. moreso, books thinking and going on walks and ANY sport (i reccomend badminton(not tennis)) cycling and going to the library. and trust it will all come to together, soon.

seriously, what a beautiful thing. i just emerged from one, oh a warm fountain of clean water. it's a real luxury. and a nice oil or lotion and a facial moisturiser. clean pyjamas. what a rejuvenating and lovely thing.

poetry by defintion is a vibes based genre. its not about gframmar or logic but getting the vibes/emtoiom out so just read a poem and if u get something without knowing every single word or understanding all the metaphors then the vibe is there
