India, May 22 -- In a world where screens rarely sleep, and notifications tug at our attention every waking minute, the idea of disconnecting can feel radical - even terrifying. But a growing movement is challenging that fear, promoting something both simple and powerful: the digital detox. From the moment we wake up to the second we fall asleep, our lives are intertwined with technology. On an average, people spend over 7 hours a day on screens - checking messages, scrolling feeds, attending virtual meetings, or binging the latest series. While technology connects us in unprecedented ways, it also exhausts us, distracts us, and in many cases, isolates us from the very life we're trying to live. Digital detox isn't about abandoning technology altogether. It's about creating boundaries - carving out space to be fully present, to recharge our minds, and to reconnect with what really matters. Detoxing can be as simple as: Turning off notifications during meals or conversations, taking one "tech-free" day each week, replacing screen time with walks, books, or face-to-face interactions and using apps that help monitor and limit device usage. Even short breaks - called "micro-detoxes" - can significantly improve focus and mood. The key is intentionality: using tech as a tool, not letting it use you. When we disconnect from our devices, we reconnect with ourselves - with our thoughts, our creativity, our loved ones, and the natural world. We rediscover the joy of undistracted moments: a conversation without pings, a walk without headphones, a meal not interrupted by alerts. If we don't learn to disconnect, we risk losing the very essence of being human - spontaneity, stillness, and deep relationships. But it's not too late. Every moment away from the screen is a chance to reconnect - not just with the world, but with ourselves. In the end, digital detox isn't about going backward. It's about reclaiming balance in a hyperconnected age. Because sometimes, the best way to move forward is to unplug. You don't need to be online to be connected. So unplug, recharge and live....
