The practice of fully absorbing a moment until it “ends” is really a great way to reframe the challenge of “letting something go”. Changing the definitive “ending” of a moment to more of an “evolution” gives it a positive connotation, which i really love and often struggle to do myself. This piece is so great and really got me thinking about how being present through daily “evolutions” can build resilience in times of grief. To know you fully lived and experienced the times that have passed can make the transition to accepting change seamless, because there is more in the present to fully immerse into!
letting your phone die feels impossible until it does and the weight of your shoulders suddenly feels like air. this is a wonderful lesson on not allowing things to constantly consume you. we have to be okay letting things run their natural course 😌💌
toni this is absolutely beautiful my gosh. i think i overcharge my phone sometimes and i refuse to let it die. i think this is a great challenge for myself to do and to let myself free 🫂
I loveeee this thought, thank you for sharing it 💗 100% going to do the phone thing, and the mango thing, and the crochet thing (as a fellow crochet girly) x
I've done this and loved how it forced me into a silent moment. I noticed I got uncomfortable with silence, so now I try to let myself sit in silence a lot more often than before.
This was such a lovely read, and very relatable. Those song lyrics are beautiful! Back in 2016, I let my phone die one weekend, and I didn't turn it on again for 8 months. Even back then smart phone addiction was so commonplace that a national newspaper wrote a piece about a young person living without a phone for 8 months. Last year I did it again. I eventually got a dumb phone, but I rarely turn it on because it's so uninteresting. I realize that I am very privileged to be able to do that. I live on a small farm, and rarely need to contact anyone. I don't think I'm setting an example for anyone, but I do hope that more people learn to let their phone die once in a while.
I've never heard anyone talk about this before. Thank you for giving this experience life! Folks have looked at me strange when I say I lay next to my charger but let my phone die anyways. There's something about it that feels nice 🤷🏽♀️
