Kabhi socha hai… hum apne phone ko kitni baar check karte hain, aur apne dil ko kitni baar?
Mera phone mera constant saathi ban gaya tha — subah, shaam, neend ke pehle, neend ke baad. But somewhere between the notifications and the scrolls, main khud se door ho gayi thi.
So I made a decision — to break up with my phone for a while… taaki main wapas khud se pyaar karna seekh saku.
🔄 When Likes Replaced Love
Har like par dopamine milta tha. Har reel ek momentary escape lagti thi.
Lekin andar kahi khali pan tha — jo kisi filter se bhar nahi sakta tha.
Mera truth mujhe chillane laga:
“Ritika, tujhe pause lena hoga… apne liye.”
💫 The Detox Decision
Mainne apne liye ek 3-day digital detox plan banaya:
- No phone in the morning – pehli subah ki roshni mere liye thi.
- Uninstalled social apps – taaki har waqt screen na kheench le.
- Offline hobbies – painting, reading, and walking with my soul.
- Phone-free nights – proper sleep, dreams, and moon talks.
🌿 What Changed Within
✨ Main khamoshi se comfortable ho gayi
✨ Mujhe apne emotions clearly sunai dene lage
✨ Mera mind lighter feel karne laga
✨ Main apni reality wapas jeene lagi — bina filters ke
Maine feel kiya:
Main jitni screen pe thi, utni hi khud se door ho gayi thi.
Aur jab screen door hui, main apne dil ke paas wapas aa gayi.
