Click to view the read-aloud text
Fragmented time is easily filled by our phones. We check them while waiting for the bus, before meals, before bed—we never allow ourselves a moment of quiet. Over time, we almost forget ordinary moments like daydreaming, waiting, looking out the window, or listening to sounds. But the human heart needs emptiness, time free from scheduling, notifications, and pressure. Giving back fragmented time isn't about becoming highly self-disciplined, but about gradually rediscovering the ability to be with yourself. You can start with small scenarios, like not immediately reaching for your phone while waiting in line, glancing at your food before eating, or allowing yourself some quiet time before bed. At first, you might feel bored or even a little uneasy, which is normal. Your brain has become accustomed to being filled. Please give the emptiness a chance. Many genuine feelings will slowly return in the blank spaces. Those small moments not taken up by your phone will once again become part of your life. Next, you can incorporate the concept of "Giving Back Fragmented Time" into a small exercise: set aside a fragmented moment, don't rush to fill it, and let your heart relearn to be with yourself for a while. In the theme of "Giving Back Your Fragmented Time," you don't need to immediately change your habits perfectly, nor do you need to prove to anyone that you have great self-control; simply being willing to stop and observe is already a form of recovery. If you feel the urge to return to the screen during practice, gently acknowledge this impulse by focusing on giving back your fragmented time, and give yourself some breathing room. You are learning to give back your fragmented time to yourself, which requires patience and understanding. You can also leave a personal reminder after finishing "Giving Back Your Fragmented Time to Yourself," placing it somewhere easily visible tomorrow. This reminder about "Giving Back Your Fragmented Time to Yourself" doesn't need to be beautifully written; just be sincere, useful, and understandable tomorrow. Regarding giving back your fragmented time to yourself, don't strive for complete change at first; simply make yourself a little more aware than yesterday. If you can only do a little today, consider that a real practice from Lesson 1658. Lesson 1658 doesn't require you to immediately become someone else; it only invites you to slowly return to yourself.

○ Music therapy guidance
When you want to reclaim your spare time, use music instead of scrolling through your screen. While waiting for the bus, before meals, or before bed, listen to a gentle melody for a few minutes, don't rush to fill the silence. It might feel boring at first, but that's your brain adjusting to the lack of stimulation. Let the sound keep you company for a while; experiencing emptiness isn't scary. After the music ends, look around at the real light, sounds, and people, and let time return to you. Taking a few minutes for yourself is gradually reclaiming the life that screens have taken over.
○Eastern and Western Healing Teas
Ginseng and honey tea is perfect for enjoying a few spare moments of time. Add one spoonful of ginseng powder to 250ml of hot water, stir well, and then add one spoonful of honey. You can drink it in the morning or evening without your phone. Allow yourself a few minutes while waiting for the water to boil, stirring, and slowly drinking; let the blank space not be immediately filled by screens, and give your heart a chance to rediscover the details of life. After drinking, allow yourself a moment of stillness, don't fill it immediately, and let those spare moments become your own again. When blank space is allowed, a sense of authenticity returns.
