Today I did not check my phone for a single day. I felt that I am quite relaxed and happy. I understood clearly what was happening to me the times when I was consistently busy in my phone. A load of information (from social media, notifications etc.) used to enter my mind those times earlier and making it burdened and feeling uneasy. Today I did not feel this. It looked that something really changed and my mind felt quite freshness.
