At least once a week, stay offline all day, go outside, and experience the world as it is. See the sky with your own eyes. Feel the sunlight on your skin. Experience the wind as it moves around you.
Talk to real people. Figure out how to be human.

Are there things you try to practice daily to live a more sustainable lifestyle?
RDD: Regular Digital Detox
At least one (1) full day a week without any type of social media. Reduced app use during the week and No AI.
Also:
Eating good food. Reading interesting fiction. Taking time to rest. Singing in the shower. Talking to friends over snacks and wine. Enjoying the small things. Prioritising mental health. Taking your time. Listening to what the body needs and following through. Living well, as best as you can.
Do you remember your favorite book from childhood?
Again, too many to count, but let’s go with Charlie and The Misanthrope’s Chocolate Factory.
From Prince Pondicherry to 4 Grandparents in 1 bed, Little Me had a tremendous amount of questions while reading. Also, those chocolates, candies, and sweets sounded amazing. Finally, no way the Oompa Loompas never figured out another diet on their own (always bothered me).
Then there were The Chocolate Trials: At first it was enormously satisfying to watch spoilt brats and bullies have the day they deserved. The Oompa Loompas DGAF and Willy Wonka was a revelation: An adult who stood firm in the face of irate parents? Amazing.
After multiple re-reads, though, the terrible children’s “just deserts” stopped being so perfectly just, given how their parents were horrible already and really weren’t being, y’know, parents. Especially in comparison to Charlie’s family, who clearly cared for Little Bucket.
