I love this, and I totally agree. I have started to mute all work Whatsapps and I lock my emails and socials apps on my phone unless it's my designated time to use them. It sounds extreme, but if I don't they control my life. Always know you never are expected to reply to my voice notes until you are ready!💖
Those are such great ideas! And I never ever feel any pressure to respond instantly to your messages - that’s why you’re my spirit animal! Championing healthy boundaries together 🙌🏻
Such a good reminder, I often find that pulling out our phones to capture that ascent, cute animal or funny moment, not only diminishes our enjoyment of the moment but it is never quite captured in the same way. I remember wanting to capture a moment of a loved one so bad, that I was purely focused on recording and watching through my screen - I take in the moment of being there. I didn't watch her - I didn't even see her, only through the miniscule, blurry image of my phone. The regret I felt was crushing - and I haven't even watched the video since. Thank you for writing this ❤️
Thank you for your comment, Ava. It’s so easy to reach for the phone first and then experience the moment, rather than prioritising enjoying the experience unfold.

I love Hengistbury Head and the 360 view at the top. It’s a view you don’t want to miss!
Oh I love that you’re familiar with Hengistbury Head! Such a stunning view - and one not to be taken for granted!
