Feeling disconnected even though you’re always online? Here’s why digital connection isn’t enough and how yoga can help ease loneliness and bring you back to yourself.
Let’s start with the core issue: why is it so difficult to put our phones down? If you’ve ever tried a digital detox but found yourself reaching for your phone without even thinking, there’s a reason for that.
Feeling Drained? This Yoga Practice Will Help You Reset. You pick up your phone just to check one thing, and suddenly...45 minutes have disappeared. You feel restless, overwhelmed, and somehow still unsatisfied. Sound familiar?
Does this sound familiar? You wake up and reach for your phone before you’ve even had a sip of coffee. Emails, Instagram, news, WhatsApp, you’re already consuming before the day has begun.
A few years ago, I was stuck in a cycle I couldn’t escape. Hustling through a fast-paced career, chasing productivity, saying yes to everything, and measuring my worth by how much I achieved. On the outside, I had it together. On the inside, I was exhausted, anxious, and completely disconnected from myself.
I know what it’s like to feel exhausted, burnt out, and stuck in an endless cycle of stress. For years, I used distractions, food, exercise, overworking, and social media to escape the heaviness of my reality. I’d open my phone to just check something and suddenly lose myself in a blur of scrolling, absorbing everyone else’s “perfect” lives while feeling like mine was falling apart.
