A Little Reminder to Come Back to Life
Have you ever noticed how quickly it happens?
One minute you're present.
Engaged with the person in front of you.
Soaking in the place you're in.
Then — ding. A notification. Or worse — no notification at all… just a habit.
A random urge to check something. Anything.
I've been sitting with this idea for a while.
Partly because I've felt it myself.
Slipping out of real life and into the scroll.
So this isn't a lecture — it's a gentle rally cry.
And a little movement I'd love to start with you.
A quiet one.
About bringing people back.
Back to the room. Back to each other. Back to life.
Next time someone near you drifts off into their phone…
Head down, scrolling like they're trying to find the meaning of life in a meme…
Give them a gentle tap.
Tap them. Twice.
On the arm closest to the screen.
Softly. With love.
"Hey… life's right here."
In this room. In this moment. With these people.
Not in a scroll. Not in a feed. Not through a screen.
Two taps. That's it. No lecture. No guilt trip. Just presence.
A way of saying: Come back. We miss you.
To your present week ahead.
With Love and Kia kaha
