Welcome.
In this practice,
We'll gently reset our relationship with digital distractions and reclaim our attention.
Let's begin.
Take a moment to settle into a position that's comfortable for you.
Feet flat on the ground.
Spine completely relaxed.
Yet,
You're alert.
If it feels comfortable for you,
Gently close your eyes or soften your gaze.
Begin by noticing the support beneath you.
The chair,
Bed or the ground under your feet.
You're just arriving here.
Nothing to do.
No where to go.
Slowly bring your attention to your breath.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Just noticing it.
Not controlling it.
Not changing it.
Let your breath move at its own pace.
Whatever feels comfortable for you.
Now,
Gently notice something.
Even in this moment of stillness or boredom,
You might get the urge to check something.
A ping on your phone or laptop.
A message.
A notification.
A quick Instagram reel.
That subtle pull from your phone.
This is the habit of digital distraction.
No need to fight it.
Don't judge it.
Just noticing it.
If thoughts arise like,
I should check my phone.
What if I miss something?
Gently label them.
Thinking.
Urge.
Habit.
Boredom.
Anxious.
Just name them and serve the urge.
Slowly return to your breath.
Breath is your anchor here.
Each time you come back,
You're training your attention.
Each time you don't react,
You're rewiring your brain.
Don't force yourself.
Just choose.
Gently bring the awareness into your body.
Notice your eyes.
Perhaps a little bit tired.
Your neck.
Your shoulders.
Any tightness from long hours on screens.
Just observe.
Nothing to fix here.
For a moment,
Notice this shift.
You're not scrolling.
Not consuming.
You're simply being yourself.
And that can feel unfamiliar.
Uncomfortable.
Yet powerful.
If the urge to check your screen arises again,
Just watch it.
Like a wave.
Rising.
Peaking.
And passing.
Every urge or wave fits.
If it's not fed,
Kindly remind yourself,
I don't have to respond to everything.
My attention belongs to me.
I am in control of my attention.
Bring your awareness back to your breath.
Breathing in.
Breathing out.
Let the breath anchor you here.
Finally,
Before you open your eyes,
Notice this feeling.
You sat with your phone.
You observed the urges without reacting.
You trained your attention.
And that is a powerful reset.
Congratulations.
You can do this again.
Whenever you're ready,
Gently open your eyes.
And carry this awareness into your next moment.
Next time you feel the urge to scroll,
Remember,
You don't always have to follow it.
You can pause and choose.
And this space is always there for you.
Thank you.
Have a good day.
