Mindful Idleness
Turning off the device on purpose: the very act to express that no fucks are being given from that moment on.
While the analogy to the digital is obvious, taking an equivalent approach to other aspects of our lives might also be just as effective against a life filled with unsatisfying experiences and stressful situations.
This can be a good way to dissolve stress in your life. The same way you do when you go on vacation and spend time just not doing anything. You can actually practice that on a daily basis, and actually a few times a day. The base action is to allow yourself to enter in that state of nothingness, relaxation, lack of pressing schedule.
We can all do that once we achieve that state of understanding where we see clearly that the tasks we commit to are nothing more than that: tasks we commit to. Once you recognize it, you immediately take the power back.
