“Unplug for five minutes.
Then stare at nothing
and call it mindfulness.”
The Sage believes we’re living in a world where even our toasters have Twitter accounts. The solution? Unplug. For just five glorious minutes.
Instead of another notification, let your gaze fall on… absolutely nothing. A blank wall, your favoured fridge magnet, or the polite shadow of your houseplant. Then claim victory and call it mindfulness.
In that moment of quiet, you might discover clarity—and the curious hum of your own thoughts. Or the fact your teapot has been whistling for ten minutes. Either way, congratulations: you’re alive and off-grid.
