We are become so used to virtual reality, that we’ve forgotten the power of real connections. Doom scrolling is slowly wasting everyone’s precious time and reducing productivity don’t you think?
In the present world, it’s challenging to be without our smartphones, as it has turned into an addiction.
Smartphones have become constant companions, decreasing genuine human interaction. Many people now share their lives on social media, most often exaggerating aspects of their day.
Slowly, these gadgets are replacing real human connections. Excessive use has led to addiction and frustration, and even children are being affected. Studies have shown rising cases that require psychological counselling, and some children even develop conditions like virtual autism due to prolonged screen exposure.
We may not be able to return to the old days when people spent time together and children played outdoors, but it’s important to spread awareness about its darker side. In today’s busy world, people often seek relaxation through their phones, but true peace comes from real connections.
Thank you for sharing such insightful tips, and will try to be without my mobile at least for 12 hours
So true, we can’t fully escape technology, but being mindful and taking breaks helps us reconnect with ourselves and others. Glad you’re trying the 12-hour detox!
We may say like we can’t survive without mobile phone for 24hrs. But the real truth is we can, every habbits can be maintained by our brain only. If we do one thing for 2 or 3 weeks our brain continuously work for that same like if we reduce our screen time not as much but by little bit daily it will change our entire mood by just redirecting our brain.
Absolutely! A short digital detox can refresh your mind and bring back a sense of peace and focus you didn’t realize you were missing. It’s amazing how much clarity comes from simply unplugging for a day.
These days, our phones have become like Karna’s Kavacha Kundala — impossible to part with,forever attached. The only difference is, his made him invincible… ours just drains our battery!
I think we should schedule “no-phone zones” everyday — even heroes need time without their armor! Take control of your attention, not the apps.
Of course! A brief digital detox may feel like pressing the mental reset button. It’s remarkable how much more at ease and in the moment you feel when you take a break from screens, even for a few hours. Your mental energy can be restored by journaling, spending more time in nature, or just taking in some quiet time. It serves as a wonderful reminder that when the phone is put away and life takes precedence, peace frequently begins.
I cannot stress enough on how important this topic is! We are almost constantly on our screens all the time every day, whether its for work or otherwise. We do ’t even realise what such a constant stream of information and opinions can do to our mental health; because it doesn’t seem possible that our brains are designed to take in this much at once.
It’s extremely essential to do digital detoxes once in a while; I have always felt an instant improvement in my mood and clarity of thoughts every time I’ve done so
Honestly, the idea of a digital detox feels both challenging and refreshing.
As someone who’s constantly balancing studies, professional work, and screen-based tasks, I sometimes forget what true focus feels like.
A 24-hour break isn’t just about staying away from notifications it’s about rediscovering time for yourself, your thoughts, and even simple joys like a walk or reading without distractions.
I believe unplugging once in a while isn’t a luxury anymore, it’s a necessity for mental clarity and balance.
Absolutely true Miss Sowmiya our brain adapts faster than we think. Small, consistent changes in habits can completely reset our focus and improve mental well-being.
Haha, perfectly said Dr. Triveni, Loved the Karna reference truly, our “digital armor” needs time off too. No-phone zones might just be the modern path to real mindfulness.
Beautifully said Dr. Shruti, True peace starts when we disconnect from the noise and reconnect with ourselves those quiet moments are where real clarity begins.
Absolutely agree Dr. Mugdha, our minds were never built for nonstop input. Even short digital detoxes can feel like clearing mental clutter and reconnecting with what truly matters.
So well said Nevethaa, in a world that never stops scrolling, taking time to unplug is the real act of self-care. That 24-hour pause can do wonders for focus, peace, and perspective.
Your brain is too!
your attention span gets a reboot.
reduces overstimulation from constant notifications.
your body and mind finally get rest.
real conversations, walks, hobbies, and reflection.
Tip: Start small one evening offline, no notifications, just yourself. You’ll notice clarity you forgot existed.
Take control of your attention, not the apps.
