I've been trying this new thing where anytime I get somewhere with family or really good friends, I put my phone in my pocket and keep it there until I leave. I don't use it for the whole period of time and it's giving me the ability to appreciate things more and feel like I am actually involved in the moment. I have a lot of issues with this normally and tear myself up over it so putting away my phone lately has been revitalizing, to say the least. as someone who is very attached to their phone, it isn't as easy as it seems, especially if you are bored or feel awkward at any moment. but it really does help and make me happier.
I just wanted to share in case anyone needs to be more interlaced with reality.
