A few days into February, as soon as I started the Phone-Free February challenge, as if the universe wanted to make this transition seamless, my phone broke. What first seemed like an inconvenience quickly revealed itself as a gift—an effortless invitation to a quieter, more intentional rhythm.

Without the constant distractions, I felt more connected to my body and the world around me. Navigating without GPS, checking messages only when I’m at home, and simply being in the moment—what a gift it has been. I felt more centered, calm, and alive.
