The hardest part of disconnecting is when you just still want to touch your phone and see if anyone has messaged. But now I am trying to use my ears to see if anyone has messaged and if it’s someone important I keep their ringtone different to others! Now I am picking my phone less and I use that phone time tracker ironically on my phone which tracks the time I use on it. From there On I am decreasing my time week by week.

For me, the hardest part of disconnecting is that my mind automatically starts running to-do lists and tasks for the next 36 hours. I realized that I already know about these tasks, which is why I'm remembering it during meditation, and usually I've written them down so I dont have to pay them mind. I thank myself for remembering the thing and trying to protect me, then I put it down and go back to 'being a mountain observing the clouds' or whatever image makes most sense to you.
