Lesson 1680: Returning to Your Real Life
Click to view the read-aloud text
Having come this far in the digital life imbalance and internet addiction recovery, what we truly want to bring back is not just less phone use and less gaming, but the return of real life to its center. You can still use the internet—to study, work, connect with friends, and enjoy entertainment in moderation. It just won't dictate how you spend your day, nor will it devour sleep, your body, relationships, or inner peace. Returning to real life is a gradual process. You might rediscover the taste of food, the preciousness of sleep, the warmth of face-to-face conversation, the ease after physical activity, and the peace of being alone in quiet solitude. Please don't demand a complete change all at once. Each pause, each moment of real-life companionship, each moment of clarity—these are all paths back. The internet can exist, but you are more important than the internet. May you slowly reclaim your time for yourself, return your attention to life, and gently bring your heart back from the screen. Real life is always waiting for you, not rushing you, but simply waiting for you to slowly return home. Next, you can incorporate "Returning to Your Real Life" into a small exercise: write down the three things in real life you most want to reclaim, allowing the internet to return to its position as a tool. In the theme "Returning to Your Authentic Life," 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 returning to your authentic life, and give yourself some breathing room. You are learning to return to your authentic life, which requires patience and understanding. You can also leave a personal reminder after finishing "Returning to Your Authentic Life" and place it somewhere easily visible tomorrow. This reminder about "Returning to Your Authentic Life" doesn't need to be beautifully written; just be sincere, useful, and understandable tomorrow. Regarding returning to your authentic life, don't strive for complete change at first; simply make yourself a little more aware than yesterday. If you can only achieve a little today, please consider that a real practice from Lesson 1680.

Rose tea is perfect for a final moment as you return to real life. Take one teaspoon of rose petals, steep in hot water for 5-10 minutes, and add honey if desired. If the weather is cold, you can substitute ginger tea for the last cup. As you slowly sip, reflect on the time, sleep, relationships, and peace you've given yourself. May the internet return to its place as a tool, and may you slowly return home. After finishing, write down one thing you want to bring back into your life, allowing real life to gradually take center stage again. You are bringing yourself back into life, little by little.
