Most of us don’t even notice how many times a day we reach for our phones.

It’s automatic. A habit. A reflex.

We’re not bad for it — we’re just overwhelmed. And sometimes, the best thing we can do for our peace is the simplest:

📵 Put the phone down

💻 Step away from the screen

🌤️ Look out the window. Really look.

I’ve made this a ritual:

When I start to feel twitchy or overloaded, I stop.

I make a cup of tea or coffee, sit near the window, and just… observe.

🌿 The way the sunlight hits the leaves.

🚶‍♀️ Someone walking their dog across the street.

☁️ Clouds that are in no rush to be anywhere.

It’s five minutes. But it feels like a whole vacation.

You don’t have to delete all your apps.

But you can take back your breath, your gaze, your now.

So here’s a tiny ritual:

☁️ Look out the window.

🌸 Take a walk without your phone.

🌿 Spend 5 minutes noticing anything not on a screen.

Let the world in — the real one.

Your peace is more important than your feed.

So close the tab.

Mute the notifications.

And come back to you — the quiet, present version who’s been waiting patiently.

Just five minutes. Try it.
