The Phone is So Psychologically Dense

I was enjoying the moment, in a state of flow next to a campfire. I had my phone with me but I had set it aside in a bag. I returned indoors for a brief moment and, when I passed the threshold of the door, a short list of phone-supported activities came to mind: check my messages, reach out to someone, surf headlines, etc. Only, while having these thoughts, I’d forgotten that I’d left the phone outside. Once I realized the phone was outside, I felt a refreshing woosh rush through my body from head to toe. A subtle change in vigilance had swept over my attention and my nerves had relaxed. In that moment, possibilities began to open for what I might do instead of using my phone. I decided to write about my positive experience here.
