Technology can ruin your connections. Seriously though, who wants to play the game "you lose"?
The universe has amazing ways of showing you the path every few minutes, IF you are in alignment. A really cool experience came out of something so precarious to me, breaking my IPhone 15 pro back glass. While I use a case, it still broke. As we all know, things are generally made to break these days, including your Broken Phone.
Before you go on saying: "It's impossible to function with out my phone"- what I'll offer you in response in the concept of that is - "my friend, THAT is the attitude of an ADDICT". It is ideal to reconsider what you think an addict is. Because even the act of scrolling through your phone is an ADDICTION.
When I discovered this, I knew if I had the option, I would replace it myself. As I discovered in recent times, I have the ability to take apart, and reassemble just about anything in which I have the available tools to do so, and not only that, I do it well for far far less in which I could honestly say is only as important as it is to have things function as they should rather than put together like a caveman would, as this is another tendency these days. But to enjoy and gain knowledge in that experience is phenomenal.
I decided to take the opportunity to take about two weeks without a phone to slowly disassemble the phone and put it back together, which would involve me having no contact on it, and only my computer when absolutely necessary. I found this process to absolutely the most gratifying experience, because i realized, maybe I don't need a phone or do I even want one!
I can set the thing aside for a week, or even a month, or more and be fine without it. I'll tell you your brain goes into an incredible contemplative state that I would highly recommend as technology addiction is seriously tearing us apart, funny enough as you read this on your phone. This really brings to surface all your other addictions(and if you don't think you have an addiction problem, think again). Pretty much qualifies as the initial stages of a Dopamine Detox.
The benefits are immeasurable. You realize the connections you have and what they mean to you. You start to really be in your knowing. And, most importantly,
you prove to yourself that you are stronger than you thought.
