Finding Joy Beyond the Screen: A Digital Well-Being Reflection
Have you ever watched the sunlight fade,
Without your phone pulling you away?
Or heard the laughter of a child’s game,
Without checking notifications all the same?
Have you ever felt the joy of stillness,
When the screen rests and there's calm in the illness?
Or gazed at the stars in the quiet night,
Instead of the glow of your tablet’s light?
It’s time to pause the endless scroll,
Reclaim your time, repair your soul.
Life’s too short to miss its song,
When alerts keep pulling us along.
Do you take time to truly see,
A face, a place, a memory?
Or do moments blur in digital haze,
While precious hours slip away?
Let the pings and buzzes wait,
Disconnect to reset your state.
Feel the breeze, hear the bird,
Rediscover life without a word.
Because life’s not lived in endless feeds,
But in hearts and hands and soulful deeds.
So take a breath, put the device away,
And choose the magic of today.
