Enough: Reclaiming Your Life from Digital Overload
Here's a customized version of David Whyte’s poem "Enough" that focuses on digital habits and mindful technology use:
Enough (for Digital Habits)
Enough.
These pixels on the screen,
this endless scrolling through spaces,
have led you away from yourself.
You have searched and tapped and swiped,
waiting for something to fill
the endless hum of information,
but it has never arrived.
Enough.
You are enough,
without the notifications,
without the constant presence
of everyone’s else’s curated lives.
You belong here,
in the quiet of your own being,
in the presence of a moment unfolding
that no device can capture.
You are enough.
The stillness you seek
cannot be found in a browser tab,
but in the mindful way
you disconnect to reconnect
with the rhythm of your breath,
the birds outside your window,
the joy of a handwritten note.
So put down the phone,
set aside the endless stream.
Enough of the striving for likes and shares.
You are not the sum of your screen time.
You are whole,
here,
now,
in this digital-free space
that reminds you of your deepest self.
