Let's get straight to the point - my holiday is over and, for the first time, I didn't manage to read (let alone reply to) a single work email during this time. Yes, the world really does turn without me, a truly enriching experience! I probably wouldn't have come to this realisation on my own, so a Panchakarma cure, the queen of Ayurvedic cures, was necessary. Four weeks before it started, I had to give up quite a few things: coffee, fish, meat, milk, wheat and finally tea. The latter was really difficult for me. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, I was prepared for everything, even for the fact that a bag with the words \"Here is your mobile phone in spa mode\" was waiting for me at the hotel. What can I say, now I was getting anxious at the thought of being cut off from the outside world for 10 days. Nevertheless, I switched my mobile phone to silent mode and didn't even take my iPad out of its case. Of course, I had set up the out-of-office note as a precaution, but questions like: Will I miss something important? How will it be received by customers if I'm not available? I know, what hubris to think like that!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The next morning, I hesitantly glanced at my mobile phone. And felt torn. On the one hand, I wanted to communicate with others, but on the other, I needed time for myself. The solution was simple: I posted a photo of the bag on What'sApp and wrote that I wouldn't be online again for another 9 days. Within a few minutes, I received 8 messages wishing me a good mobile phone detox time, and the number continued to rise over the course of the day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
From then on, my perception of others also changed - I became increasingly annoyed when spa guests didn't follow the recommendations and talked loudly on their phones in the park. In any case, I can say that the detox programme worked for me. Even afterwards, I feel more relaxed, much fitter and have got rid of the need to respond to everything straight away. Now I'm looking forward to going back to work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, actually, there was no situation in which I had to save the world, I can do it without me - at least for a while \ud83d\ude42 Try it for yourself - it will do you good!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
