How Logging Off Helps Me Reset
So…
I did a thing.
I logged off. Like, actually switched off the Wi-Fi. No TikTok scrolling. No Insta stalking. No “just replying to messages” that somehow turns into two hours of meme-hopping and existential dread. And guess what? I didn’t die.
Honestly, when I first thought about taking a digital detox, I laughed out loud. Not just any laugh. The kind that says, “Girl, who are you kidding?” I mean, I’m the same person who checks her blog stats like they’re blood pressure readings and opens Instagram before even brushing her teeth. (Tragic, I know.)
But life had been feeling loud. Too loud. Notifications pinging like my brain owed them rent. Content everywhere. Everyone shouting, “Look at me!” while I was slowly forgetting to look within. It got exhausting. My mind? Cluttered. I felt overstimulated. My to-do list was scattered. And let’s not even talk about my sleep schedule, it was giving me insomniac influencer vibes.
So, I unplugged. No big announcement. No “I’m taking a break” status. Just silence. And oh, the beauty in that silence.
The first few hours… Let’s just say I experienced withdrawal symptoms. I reached for my phone like a newborn reaching for milk. Pure panic. What if someone texted me? What if I was missing important updates (like, you know, my celeb faves)? What if my mailbox or blog exploded and I didn’t know?
Spoiler: none of that happened. Life went on. The world kept turning. My inbox survived.
Instead, I spent my detox day doing real human things. I journaled. I cooked 2 meals without filming it. I took a long walk and actually listened to birds not a podcast. I prayed. Like really prayed. Not the quick “Thank You Jesus” while quickly replying to DMs.
Something shifted. I started to feel… present. More grounded. More like myself. The me before algorithms and culture comparison. The me who enjoys writing, dreaming, being. No hashtags. No filters. Just me.
It reminded me that digital spaces are tools not homes. They’re fun, informative, and can be powerful. But they shouldn’t own us. And they certainly shouldn’t drown out the voice of God, your thoughts, or your peace.
Now, I schedule mini detox days often. Sometimes it’s a few hours. Other times, a full day. I don’t always succeed, but when I do, I breathe better.
So here’s your gentle reminder:
Log off. Step out. Reset.
Because peace isn’t found in pixels it’s found in presence.
Until next time, besties. Xx.
