Recently I was listening to someone tell me about how they were using their phone.
They expressed that they wanted to create a better boundary around how they used their phone particularly in the evening.
The idea was that they would stop using the phone/devices around 8pm, rather than 10:30pm, so that they can wind down and hopefully sleep a little better.
There’s a lot of value in these small boundary shifts. A couple of hours here, a window there.
And, it’s important to recognise that this is typically how we think.
As humans, often all we want is to keep things pretty much the same as they are, but a little more relaxed.
So, we look for “little” tweaks on boundaries.
What about a huge tweak?
If the phone behaviour is causing an energetic or relationship issues, what about leaving the whole device in your car from midday Saturday to 8am Monday?
Too much?
What could be possible if this space was created?
This isn’t a post about phones or devices, but rather some curiosity: what happens if we go deeper with the boundaries we create (or the boundaries we “relax?”).
What might be possible?
