“I can’t unplug.”
That’s what some people say
Are you an emergency worker? On call 24/7? Even then, you have rostered time off; everyone does. That’s what sabbath is – a rostered day off technology
So what do we really mean when we say can’t?
I can’t fly because I’m not a bird and I don’t have wings.
But unplugging? That’s a choice. Don’t say “can’t” as an excuse.
Yes, it’s hard. Yes, it feels uncomfortable.
But it is possible. You’ve already taken the first step by realizing it matters.
The next step is affirming your agency and acknowledge that if you want to make a change like this in your life, then you most certainly CAN.
Freedom doesn’t begin with a screen. It begins with choosing to turn it off.
